Most small landlords don’t fail because they can’t calculate cap rates. They fail because they underestimate risk.

In this episode, we break down real estate risk management for small investors and the landlord mistakes that quietly erode returns over time. From bad debt and tenant risk to regulatory crackdowns, non-conforming properties, and personal burnout, the biggest threats to your rental portfolio often aren’t the ones on your spreadsheet.

If you own rental property in Canada - especially small multifamily - understanding rental property risk isn’t optional. It’s the difference between sustainable cash flow and constant stress.

We cover:

– Bad debt and bad tenant risk

– Non-conforming and “weird” properties (commercial overlays, illegal conversions, zoning exposure)

– Regulatory risk (Airbnb bans, rooming house enforcement, rental law changes)

– Personal burnout risk and operational overload

If you want to build a portfolio that survives cycles, this episode will change how you think about risk
