Fall Rental Property Maintenance Checklist: What Landlords Should Do Before Winter Winter problems are expensive. A furnace that fails during the first cold snap. A frozen exterior water line. Clogged gutters sending spring melt toward the foundation. Too much humidity creating condensation, ice and eventually mold. These are predictable problems, which means landlords should be dealing with them before they become emergencies. In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby walk through their fall rental-property maintenance checklist and explain the systems they use to prepare their portfolio for winter. The goal is simple: Be proactive instead of reactive. A relatively inexpensive preventative repair in September can save you from a much larger emergency repair in January. Why Every Landlord Needs a Seasonal Maintenance System When you own your own home, seasonal maintenance can happen naturally. You notice something in the yard. You walk past the furnace. You see leaves accumulating in the gutters. With multiple rental properties, that does not happen automatically. The more properties you own, the more important systems and checklists become. Wayne and Gabby recommend creating a repeatable fall inspection checklist, saving it permanently and putting a recurring reminder into your calendar every year. You should not have to remember everything. The system should remind you. Start With the Furnace One of the most important fall checks is the furnace. Do not wait for the first -30°C night to discover that the furnace does not work. During the fall inspection: Turn the furnace on Confirm it fires properly Change the furnace filter Consider servicing it if it has not been checked recently Make sure airflow is not being restricted Deal with known issues before winter The worst time to discover a furnace problem is late at night during the first major cold snap when every HVAC company in the city is already dealing with emergency calls. Preventative maintenance gives you options. Emergency maintenance usually gives you a bill. Check the Humidifier Gabby considers humidity control one of the most important seasonal checks. If the property has a furnace-mounted humidifier or HRV system, the settings may need to change as outdoor temperatures drop. Too much indoor humidity during very cold weather can cause condensation and ice around: Windows Window frames Exterior walls Corners Areas behind furniture Other cold surfaces That ice eventually melts. Then you have water entering drywall, flooring and framing. And moisture problems can quickly become mold problems. Make sure the humidifier is set appropriately for the season and outdoor temperature. Winterize Exterior Hose Bibs Exterior water lines are another major concern. Before freezing temperatures arrive: Disconnect exterior hoses Locate the interior shutoff Shut the water supply off Open the exterior hose bib Drain the remaining water from the line Close everything properly for winter Water expands when it freezes. If water remains trapped in the pipe, the line or hose bib can burst. You may not even discover the damage until spring when somebody turns the water back on. Wayne and Gabby have purchased properties where exterior hose bibs did not survive the previous winter. A simple preventative step can save hundreds or potentially thousands of dollars. Clean Gutters and Check Downspouts Make sure gutters are clear and downspouts direct water away from the house. In Alberta, snow may accumulate for months before melting rapidly in spring. When that happens, you want the water moving away from the foundation. Clogged gutters or poorly positioned downspouts can contribute to: Foundation moisture Basement leaks Water intrusion Landscaping damage Properties surrounded by mature trees may require gutter cleaning every spring and fall. Wait until most of the leaves have fallen before completing the final fall cleaning. Check the Roof While inspecting the exterior, look at the roof. Check for: Missing shingles Damaged shingles Storm damage Fascia issues Soffit damage Areas where water could penetrate A small roof problem in September is much easier to repair than a roof problem buried beneath months of snow. Don't Ignore the Attic Attic issues can create serious winter problems. Look for: Inadequate insulation Poor ventilation Disconnected vents Bathroom fans exhausting incorrectly Signs of moisture Previous water staining Heat escaping into the attic can create condensation and ice. When that ice melts, the water can end up inside the ceiling, insulation or walls. That can lead to stains, leaks and mold. Wayne and Gabby emphasize another lesson here: If your home inspector identifies an attic issue when you buy the property, do not simply file the inspection report away and forget about it. Fix the important items. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Every seasonal inspection should include life-safety equipment. Test every smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector. Check: Operation Batteries where applicable Expiry dates Proper placement These devices are not decorative. They exist to protect the people living in your property. Check Windows and Doors Look closely at exterior windows and doors. Check: Caulking Sealant Weather stripping Visible gaps Signs of water intrusion Areas where daylight is visible around doors If you can see daylight around a door, cold air can get through too. Wayne and Gabby have become increasingly focused on exterior sealing after dealing with water-intrusion issues in their portfolio. Water will find surprisingly small openings. Seal them before weather makes the problem worse. Check the Rest of the Property While You're There If you are already inspecting the property, use the opportunity to perform a broader maintenance review. Consider checking: Hot water tank Appliance filters Plumbing Exterior drainage Interior moisture Property condition Previously identified maintenance items Treat the rental property the way you would treat your own home. The goal is to leave knowing the property is prepared to operate safely through winter. Document Everything Do not simply walk through and rely on memory. Take photos. Record what was inspected. Document repairs required. Keep the inspection record. Then compare it against the next seasonal inspection. If something does not need immediate attention but should be reviewed again in spring, document it and schedule the follow-up. Proactive Beats Reactive Wayne summarizes the philosophy behind the entire episode: Good property management is not about fixing things when they break. It is about identifying predictable problems before they become emergencies. A $150 preventative repair in September can easily prevent a $2,000 emergency repair in January. The exact number is not the point. The principle is. Preventative maintenance is almost always easier and cheaper than emergency maintenance. Build the System Once For investors with multiple properties, the solution is not becoming better at remembering everything. Build a system. Create a fall checklist. Create a spring checklist. Put recurring reminders into your calendar. Delegate inspections where appropriate. Document the results. Schedule repairs automatically. The simpler the system is, the more likely it will actually be followed. That frees up your mental bandwidth for higher-value activities: Finding deals. Building relationships. Raising capital. Growing your portfolio. And spending time on the things outside real estate that actually matter to you.

Araz Feyzi says SpaceX (SPCX) is experiencing a natural and normal repricing after its first public earnings report. Andrew Chanin wonders if the selling is driven more by the lock-up expiry on Thursday rather than the earnings report. Araz thinks the lockup expiry could go in either direction. Both weigh in on the spending costs related to SpaceX, with Andrew weighing in on its partnership with Nvidia (NVDA). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Deb Hutton speaks with Mary-Margaret McMahon, Liberal MPP for Beaches-East York, about whether it's time to introduce term limits for municipal politicians and how long elected officials should stay in office. Listeners then weigh in on two debates: Should voters decide when politicians leave office, or should term limits be imposed? And as concerns grow over lithium-ion battery fires, are e-bike and e-scooter batteries safe to charge inside the home, and who is responsible when something goes wrong? Later, former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney joins the show for a discussion on antisemitism in Canada and the political response to its rise.

We're sitting in Japanese ceremony with Celtic in our bones. We're practicing in someone else's cultural skin. We're completing certifications in a borrowed language, and somewhere deep - in a place that doesn't use words - something is screaming this isn't ours.In this episode, you'll discover why your Western animistic lineage was broken, how the spiritual industry borrowed from other traditions to fill that rupture, and most importantly - why the gatekeeping embedded in those borrowed systems keeps you fragmented from what wants to move through you. The system is the issue. Not you. And there comes a moment when borrowed wisdom has an expiry date.By the time you finish listening in, you'll disover:● Your Western animistic lineage was broken when the elders stopped passing knowledge down, so you went searching and naturally borrowed from cultures where that relationship remained alive - Japanese Reiki, Chinese Qi, Indian Prana. While this wasn't necessarily a mistake, what followed was the adoption of gatekeeping structures (hierarchy, permission, credentials) that transformed a borrowed system into THE system, protecting borrowed wisdom rather than living ancestral knowledge.● If you're intuitive, you feel the tension between what you were taught and where your spiritual authority wants to guide you far more acutely than others. You complete every certification, every modality, and still sense something deeper is available - this isn't failure; it's because you're confined by a borrowed system designed for a culture that isn't yours.● The insidious cost of operating within borrowed frameworks is that you begin blaming yourself (“I am the problem”) when the real issue is systemic. You chase the next course, the next teacher, the next training, slowly erasing your own sensing and knowing while fragmenting your personal power across multiple misaligned modalities— - creating spiritual exhaustion and emotional overwhelm rather than clarity.● Great training acts as a bridge back to yourself, not a ladder away from it - the difference is whether it supports direct spiritual relationship or creates dependency. When practitioners shift to Spirit-led, animistic practice rooted in trust rather than dogmatic execution, they stop asking “Am I allowed?” and start trusting what emerges through genuine connection with energy as a living intelligence.And while you're here, I'd love to connect on Tiktok & Instagram @reikiredefined.Also, make sure to tag me in your stories @reikiredefined.Live lead & serve from the power of your own truth - Spirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/No cost non guru community with no hierarchy or all knowing behaviour: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/No cost workshop for energy workers: https://www.reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-vei-on-reiki/Essays on power, ethics & authority: https://www.jaynegoodsir.substack.comUNDILUTED (a weekly round up that encourages us to question what we've inherited, trust our direct experience, and remain curious about what we know to be true): https://reiki-redefined.kit.com/6629991732

Has your tenant been paying perfectly for years, only to suddenly fail their rent referencing renewal? Plus, how do you unlock the equity you need when you've got multiple mortgages expiring at different times? Rob & Rob answer two tricky listener questions on this episode. (00:41) Peter's tenant has been reliable for years, but has just failed a re-referencing check, meaning the rental insurance won't renew. What should he do? Rob D weighs up whether it's worth proceeding without cover, and what he can do to get the tenant over the line. (03:19) Philip has three properties, and all the mortgage fixes expire at different times. How does he align them to get the most equity for his next purchase? Rob B explains how further advances work and why speaking to your broker about your strategy upfront can save a lot of headaches. Enjoy the show?

When does experience stop being valued? At what age? Experienced women are being systematically sidelined from the workforce from the age of 40. The average unemployment timeline for over-50s in Australia is 86 weeks. Cognitive peak occurs in the late 50s. And the retirement age in Australia is 67. It's 65 in New Zealand. You do the math. Yet, organisations continue to treat experience as a liability while calling it something more palatable such as restructuring, over-qualified, budget constraints.In this episode, Di Gillett and Jacqueline Freeman get straight to the point. This is not a feel-good episode. It is a thought leadership conversation with real intellectual teeth, and actionable insights for the woman who has ever felt the system beginning to look through her - rather than at her.Your experience isn't baggage.

Many Canadians say they've lost confidence in politics and are looking for ways to make government more accountable. A new paper from Lydia Miljan, senior fellow at the Fraser Institute and author of Term Limits for Parliamentarians, argues that practical changes like a 12-year term limit for federal politicians could strengthen Canadian democracy without reopening the Constitution. She joins Evan to share her findings and what major changes would happen if this was implimented tomorrow.

Bitcoin is staring down its biggest day of the week: a $10.6 BILLION Deribit options expiry Friday with nearly 80% of positions out-of-the-money, clustered around a $60K put and $80K call — meaning the next 48 hours will decide whether the relief rally extends or collapses. CryptoQuant publicly called on Saylor to STOP buying as Strategy's dividend obligations QUADRUPLED to $1.2B annually. Add the dollar at a 7-month high, Meta secretly building a prediction market called Arena, the CFTC suing Kentucky as the federal-state war hits 9 states, and the CLARITY Act with 4 unresolved sticking points and 5 weeks until Senate recess — and Friday's $10.6B expiry is the single most important catalyst of Q3. We break down what $60K vs $80K means for the rest of the cycle, whether Saylor will actually pause, and which catalyst could break the floor before Friday. Learn more about your ad choices.

Market Structure EDGE CEO Tim Quast says investors should focus on short volume, not short interest, to better understand volatility. He argues fundamentals drive just 10% of market behavior, with supply and demand now shifting as demand weakens and supply rises. Quast flags upcoming IPOs, index rebalances, and options expiration as risks, while pointing to McDonald's (MCD) as a lower-volatility play.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

You open the fridge, check the packet, and realise the expiry date was two days ago. Do you throw it away immediately or do the smell test and hope for the best? From milk and bread to instant noodles and canned food, many Singaporeans have very different ideas about how seriously expiry dates should be taken. So are these dates strict rules… or just cautious suggestions?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some expired food products are easy to identify, due to an unpleasant smell, mould, swollen packaging or abnormal colour for example. But others show no visible changes in texture, colour, or smell. In such cases, you might well ask yourself if the item is still safe to consume. To begin with, it's important to note that some products don't expire, as long as they're stored in the right conditions, as indicated on the packaging. For example, pasta, tinned goods, rice, sugar, flour, coffee, dry cakes, honey or vinegar. These tend to have an indicative "best before" date on the packaging, usually noted in the month-year format. But even if you go past that date, the product won't be unfit for consumption. However, it may have lost some of its sensory qualities like taste, texture, or appearance. So, which expired foods should definitely not be eaten? Does an opened product still have the same "use by" date? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Guest Alice Heron – Manager, Fragomen Topics include: • The difference between permission to work and permission to reside • What HR needs to know about right-to-work checks • Understanding Critical Skills, General, and Intra-Company Transfer permits • The new Minimum Annual Remuneration (MAR) thresholds and what they mean for 2026 • Changes under the Employment Permits Act 2024 • The Eligible and Ineligible Occupations Lists – and why they matter • Family reunification rules and dependent considerations • Visa timelines and workforce planning • Hiring and retaining international graduates in Ireland • Stamp 1G and Stamp 2 permissions explained • Common compliance pitfalls HR teams should avoid • Why immigration should be part of long-term workforce strategy — not an afterthought Key Takeaways for HR Leaders • Permission to work and permission to reside are separate systems — always verify both. • The new MAR thresholds (increasing through to 2030) mean salary planning must align with immigration requirements. • Immigration compliance is a lifecycle process — not a “file it and forget it” task. • Expiry date tracking for permits and IRP cards is critical to avoid operational disruption. • Graduate hiring presents a major opportunity, but early permit planning is essential. • Family considerations (including spouse work rights and dependent rules) significantly impact talent attraction and retention. • Promotions, salary changes, and role updates must be formally notified to the Department. • Strong record-keeping is essential in the event of a Workplace Relations Commission audit. • Employers who can clearly communicate long-term pathways (e.g., Stamp 4 eligibility) gain a competitive advantage in attracting global talent.

[327] You're booked and busy; what every business owner wants. But has over-functioning ever felt safer (or at the very least more familiar) than to say, “I feel like I'm drowning”? If the answer is yes, you're not alone. In fact, Heather Harris — nationally recognised stylist, salon owner, business leader, and celebrated speaker — knows this all too well. This week's conversation focuses on delegation. At its heart, though, it focuses on the emotional experience of the shifts you are forced to make when you start delegating:  Renegotiating with yourself what success actually looks like Letting go of that part of your identity that ties success and/or value to how much you output Shifting from being an owner-operator to becoming a CEO Shifting from being a firefighter to becoming an architect in your business Because at the end of the day, delegation is an identity renegotiation, and it's about choosing where your care actually belongs. As the Founder/CEO of Spark Pro Global—an agency providing trained executive assistants—Heather's here to tell you that you can, in fact, build a business that doesn't require you to lose yourself in the process. To avail of the complimentary consultation to implement strategic delegation in your salon, graciously offered by Heather, visit Alchemy Salon Consulting and leave a note in the form saying you heard about it through the PhorestFM podcast!

Some expired food products are easy to identify, due to an unpleasant smell, mould, swollen packaging or abnormal colour for example. But others show no visible changes in texture, colour, or smell. In such cases, you might well ask yourself if the item is still safe to consume. To begin with, it's important to note that some products don't expire, as long as they're stored in the right conditions, as indicated on the packaging. For example, pasta, tinned goods, rice, sugar, flour, coffee, dry cakes, honey or vinegar. These tend to have an indicative "best before" date on the packaging, usually noted in the month-year format. But even if you go past that date, the product won't be unfit for consumption. However, it may have lost some of its sensory qualities like taste, texture, or appearance. So, which expired foods should definitely not be eaten? Does an opened product still have the same "use by" date? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
