The Mortgage Game
Welcome to "The Mortgage Game", my name is Ryan Wiley.
I truly believe that building a successful mortgage business is like playing a game. There's winners, but mostly, there's losers.
I've not only built my own successful mortgage business, but I've also coached and mentored hundreds of mortgage brokers. These days, I run my own mortgage team, Team Wiley.
Now, through coaching, events, and this podcast, I want to distill everything I've learned, and bring it directly to you.

In this episode, we're joined by Sylvia Ho. Sylvia, the "cash damming queen", is a Mortgage Broker from the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario, who has revolutionized her mortgage business after over 2 decades in the industry by exclusively focusing on rental cash damming over the past 2 years.
Her transformation from a generalist to a specialist showcases how focusing on a specific niche can lead to both professional success and personal fulfillment, as she now manages to take vacations every 6 weeks, while working only 80 hours a month, and never on evenings and weekends.
Sylvia is here to discuss:
→ Why the focus on rental cash-damming and changing her business model, building a recession-proof business, and how turning away files helps her business.
→ Transitioning from running a team to to a simplified process with 1 assistant, how she gets quality leads and protects her time, and building expertise through continuous learning and practice.
→ Prioritizing peace of mind over traditional business opportunities, achieving better work/life balance, and avoiding burnout.
