If you are doing any kind of improvement work at one of your properties, there is a chance you need a permit.  The larger the improvement, the bigger the chance you need a permit.  But what kind of permit?  And what happens when that permit gets stuck in review?  In today's episode I discuss the painful silence, waiting for a building permit to get approved, and no updates for a long time.  How do you know where it is stuck?  How do you get it unstuck and ultimately, how do you get your permit approved?  I share some of my tricks of the trade to getting permits to approval.

The notion of having even one rental to self-manage can turn folks off completely.  But what if you have a portfolio of rentals you self-manage without your physical presence?  Then what?  In today's show, Digital Nomad Ryan Mellon and I discuss his travel hacks and his systems to manage his rental portfolio 13 time zones away for half the year, and all without a property manager.  We talk about not "paying" for flights, the magic of lock boxes and standardizing your rental unit renovations.  Learn with me from the ULTIMATE Remote Landlord!

Any time of transition can be scary as a tenant, especially when your landlord changes.  In today's episode, we dial down the panic and stress when a landlord changes by understanding WHY a landlord is changing, what paperwork or meetings you can expect when the landlord does change, and then what about your deposits going to the new landlord?  While this time can be stressful, today's episode helps tenants know what to expect when a landlord transition is coming up.

The 2024 US Election was a WILD RIDE!  With voters using their pocket book to decide a second Trump White House, what about the rest of the economy?  In today's episode I welcome back Financial Advisor David Pickler to talk about tariffs, inflation, interest rates, social security, and how all of this will impact not only the US but in Canada.  David does a deep dive on the US election and the economy's reaction to the incoming new government, while delivering a simple message:  not changing is not an option.

As a landlord, how do you decide how which to do:  a short term versus a long term rental? 

In today's episode I interview business strategist and long time landlord Dan Dyble, asking what landlords should consider when making this not-so-easy decision.  Dan's expert advice turns to the landlord FIRST, and challenging how the rental fits into the landlord's life (and not necessarily the other way around).  While landlords still need to create an amazing team around them for support, the education aspect of what is allowed in the local City, Subdivision, Condo/Strata, or even Province/State is interesting and ever-changing when it comes to considering short-term rentals.  As a landlord, the answer is not easy, but Dan's answer to short term versus long term rental is:  YES.

With our US rentals on Maui, we were fortunate to have skirted the recent wildfires.  BUT, we are also general contractors and as a family, we create community.  The global outreach in response to the August 8th wildfires on Maui has been overwhelming.  In today's episode, I explain the factors leading up to the two fires on Maui, talk about the warriors who are the Hawaiian people, and where the recovery stands just two months later.
