Spring is here in Alberta… which means melting snow, water movement, and one of the most important times of year for protecting your rental properties.

In this episode, Wayne and Gabby break down practical spring maintenance tips every landlord should be thinking about right now, along with a real listener question about insurance challenges investors are facing today.

If you own rentals (or plan to), this is the kind of foundational stuff that protects your portfolio long-term.
