Today we’re diving into one of the biggest threats to your real estate portfolio—water damage. If you’re investing in Quebec, especially around Montreal, this episode is a must-listen.

I’m going to break down the numbers—how much this stuff is actually costing property owners—and share what happened during this summer’s crazy flooding. I’ll give you a few horror stories (some personal ones too), and then we’ll get tactical: what causes water damage, what it costs, and how you can evaluate the risk in any property you buy. Whether it’s flood zones, broken sump pumps, or outdated piping—if you’re not factoring in water risk, you’re leaving your portfolio exposed. Let’s fix that.
