You’ve added properties, hired a manager, maybe even formed a JV — but are you really building a business? In this episode, we break down the difference between scaling a real estate portfolio and scaling an actual company. What systems, mindset shifts, and blind spots separate the serious investor from the overwhelmed landlord? Tune in to hear where real estate and entrepreneurship overlap — and where they don’t.

Today we’re diving into something that’s changing the real estate game—AI. I’ll admit it: I dream about a bot answering tenant emails while I sip my espresso. But guess what? The tenants are using AI too. Lately, we’re getting ChatGPT-authored complaints—complete with citations from the Quebec Civil Code.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through platforms real investors are using, how AI is shifting property management and how to stay legal—on both sides of the border.

I’ll also tell you what I’ve tested and what to keep your eye on.

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 Whether it’s flood zones, broken sump pumps, or outdated piping—if you’re not factoring in water risk, you’re leaving your portfolio exposed.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.
