🎧 Getting Started in Real Estate Investing | Mortgages, Property Management & First Steps

Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

If you're feeling overwhelmed about buying your first rental property, today's episode is for you.

Wayne and Gabby break down listener questions around rental mortgages, whether you really need a property manager, and how to actually get started without getting paralyzed by fear or bad advice. This episode kicks off what Wayne describes as an informal multi-part series for brand-new investors who want clarity, not hype.

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode

• Why rental properties require different mortgage products than primary residences

• When you do and do not need to change an existing mortgage when converting a home to a rental

• The truth about property management and why "you must hire a property manager" is bad blanket advice

• How to think about buying back your time versus creating another job for yourself

• Why fundamentals matter more than tactics when buying your first rental

• How to evaluate a market before buying, using Edmonton as a real example

• What new investors should focus on before pulling the trigger on their first deal

• Why education and trust matter before joining any mentorship or coaching program
