Trying to find some solid reading material focusing on Canadian Real Estate investing. There seems to be a lot of books to sift through, which have a lot of negative reviews. Can anyone suggest some reading material that is not mostly "fluff" or motivation driven, and contains some solid strategies to start and grow a Real Estate portfolio in Canada? All suggestions are very appreciated!
Books and podcasts are decent but with the market and lender conditions changing all the file it's hard for them to remain relevant or impactful.
Find a mentor in your area to work with and take some steps towards getting started at your first deal. That will be 10X more impactful than any book or podcast.
Usually anything by Don Campbell is good and Canadian specific.
I also read a couple good ones by Douglas Grey.
While Don Campbell does write about Canadian real estate, I do not share the glowing review of his writing and find him to be too much of a salesman of his organisation.
I just did a search for podcasts and I found Erwin Szeto's "the truth about real estate investing for Canadians" podcasts. I've listened to a few and some interviews have been helpful for me as a new investor. I'm considering reading "Real Estate Riches: a money making game plan for the Canadian Investor" by Tahani Aburaneh. I've heard about her on Erwin's show. The book has been out for some years and its received some mixed reviews on Amazon.
