Artificial intelligence isn’t coming; it’s already here. From ChatGPT reshaping how we communicate to AI tools being built into the apps we use every day, we’re living through a massive shift. The question now isn’t if AI will change our lives… it’s how much.

In this episode, Elise, Owen, and I dive deep into the impact of AI on our daily lives. We explore how ChatGPT and other AI platforms are making life easier, but also raising some serious questions:

Are we becoming too dependent on AI?  Will it make our jobs obsolete? And how do we adapt without losing what makes us human?

We also cover:

• Will AI eventually replace real estate agents? • How dangerous is AI’s ability to impersonate people online? • What does the future of education look like with AI in the classroom? • Is AI killing our ability to think critically? • How ChatGPT is changing the way we work, learn, and live

Whether you're curious, concerned, or just trying to keep up, this conversation is for you. AI is becoming the anchor of a new revolution and you’re either learning how to use it, or getting left behind.

For Ontario renters, the decision to live in a rent controlled building or not can have major financial implications. Tenants in buildings built before 2018 enjoy stable rents with annual increases capped at 2.5 percent, while those in newer buildings can face unpredictable hikes. 

Some renters have seen their landlords double their rent overnight, while others in brand new units enjoy competitive pricing that hasn’t surged as expected. Rent control was initially implemented to protect tenants, but Doug Ford’s changes in 2018 aimed to encourage developers to build more rental housing by exempting new properties from these restrictions.

So, is rent control truly helping renters, or is it making the market even tougher? Today, we break down the realities, misconceptions, and financial strategies every renter and investor should know.

• The pros and cons of renting in a controlled vs. non-controlled building
  

• How rent control affects landlords and tenants differently
  

• Understanding your numbers when buying an investment property
  

• When it makes sense to stop renting and buy a home
  

• The impact of taxes and capital gains when selling an investment property
  

• Why selling within the first year can be a costly mistake
  

• Hidden costs that landlords face that tenants often overlook
  

If you're currently renting and thinking about buying, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you make the right move.

Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) is in crisis, and landlords are suffering the consequences. Picture this: You rent out your property to what seems like a responsible tenant, only to have them stop paying rent. You follow the legal eviction process, only to find yourself stuck in an endless backlog, waiting months sometimes over a year for a hearing. Meanwhile, your bills pile up, mortgage payments don’t stop, and your financial stability crumbles. 

This isn’t just one landlord’s nightmare. It's happening across Ontario. Some tenants know exactly how to work the system, using loopholes to live rent-free while landlords face massive losses. In this episode, we dive deep into the broken system and the toll it’s taking on rental property owners.

• The LTB backlog – Why landlords are waiting 8-12 months for an eviction hearing

• How eviction works in Ontario – The slow, painful process landlords must go through

• The impact of COVID-19 – How the pandemic made delays even worseWhy landlords are selling their properties – And how this affects the rental market

• Tenant-friendly laws & loopholes – How some tenants game the system to stay rent-free

• Rent control & its effects – Why maintaining older properties is becoming impossible

• Solutions & potential reforms – Can the system be fixed, or is it beyond repair?

Ontario’s rental laws are meant to protect tenants, but at what cost? Landlords are left powerless, losing thousands while they wait for the system to catch up. Tune in to hear real stories, expert insights, and what needs to change to restore balance.

Toronto condo rent prices have been on a steady decline, making it seem like the perfect time to rent. With one bedroom apartments now averaging $2,385—down 8% from last year—and landlords offering incentives like free rent and upgraded appliances, it’s easy to see why renting feels tempting. 

The market has shifted in favor of renters, with increased supply and reduced demand driving prices down further. But is this the right time to sign a lease, or is there a smarter long term move?

While the short term savings of renting might look appealing, the numbers tell a different story when it comes to your financial future. Buying a condo in Toronto, even in today’s market, could save you significantly over time. 

With rents still 20 to 25% higher than pre COVID levels and the current renter friendly conditions expected to fade by spring 2025, locking in a mortgage now could shield you from future price hikes and give you a valuable asset.

In this episode, we get into:

• Why Toronto condo rent prices are dropping and how long it will last.

• The hidden costs of renting versus the long term benefits of buying.

• How increased supply and changing renter demographics are shaping the market.

• Why rents are still 20 to 25% higher than pre COVID levels and what that means for you.

• The incentives landlords are offering to attract tenants (and why they might not be enough).

• Why buying a condo now could save you money and build equity for the future.
