Real Estate Investing Morning Show β Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier
Today's episode dives into practical and often misunderstood areas of real estate investing in Canada. Wayne and Gabby answer listener-submitted questions about using RRSPs for private lending, navigating wholesale deals in other provinces, and whether a text message agreement from a landlord or tenant can hold legal weight.
