Show Notes
Most small landlord disasters don't come from bad properties — they come from good properties run like a hobby. This is the unsexy episode that saves five-doors-or-fewer landlords more money than any reno or refi.
We break down the systems that actually matter: bookkeeping that tracks real cash flow, the insurance gaps that get claims quietly denied, and tenant screening that keeps you legal and paid. Then we go province by province on deposits, tribunals, dispute timelines, and 2026 rent-control numbers across Ontario, BC, Alberta, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada, closing with when to stop self-managing and the five biggest mistakes we see on repeat.
