    My Friend Who…. Wants to Buy her College Son a House and Rent the Rooms to His Friends with Dr. Jennifer Salisbury

    This episode, My Friend Who… Wants to Buy Her College Son a House and Rent the Rooms to His Friends in Virginia, explores the pros and cons of parents investing in a rental property for their college-aged children. I review not only the financial considerations like mortgages, rental income, and maintenance costs to help listeners evaluate potential cash flow, I discuss the realistic issues that could affect shared housing setups, especially with first-time renters and remote owners.  I offer practical advice on family boundaries, lease agreements, and managing relationships between student tenant roommates. The episode closes with expert tips and clear action steps for families considering turning college housing into a smart real estate move. 👋 COME SAY HI!

    REPLAY - Checkers vs. Chess The REAL Real Estate Game with Freddie Rappina

    The typical wealth advisor is likely a checkers player who is likely going to help you play checkers.  What is the game of checkers you ask?  According to my guest today, checkers is working and saving and the income you earn is based on the work you do.  Freddie Rappina explains today how checkers is different from chess, why chess is the game of real estate investors, why taxes are good and compound interest may not be the best idea.  Join me as I talk with Freddie and how he is "not your average wealth advisor". 👋 COME SAY HI!

    When Enough Is Enough: My First Eviction in 6 years, Part 2 with Dr. Jennifer Salisbury

    This follow-up episode continues the landlord’s firsthand account of a drawn-out eviction in British Columbia that nearly spiraled into a six‑month nightmare. What begins as a quiet tenancy unravels after unauthorized pets and additional occupants move in, leading to legal notices, hearings, and mounting frustration. The host walks listeners through every step — from warning letters and Residential Tenancy Branch disputes to the looming possibility of a Supreme Court enforcement and bailiff intervention. In a twist, the story reveals how due diligence, proper documentation, and patience ultimately led to a peaceful resolution: the tenant left voluntarily, leaving only minor damage behind. The episode closes on a reflective note about professionalism, persistence, and the reality that in property management, prevention and process are everything. 👋 COME SAY HI!

    REPLAY - A Case Study from a BC Landlord

    Today's episode is a bit different.  I am interviewing a landlord with one rental from British Columbia, who just had a nightmare tenant.  Very quickly things went sideways, resulting in warning letters, some unit damage, and non-payment of rent.  Things could have been much worse, but we learn about the mistakes made along the way, the decision to hire a property manager local to the rental, and the use of AI helping in writing the warning letters.  Join me in today's first case study on My Life As A Landlord! 👋 COME SAY HI!
