The First Part of the Book
The first part of Real Estate Investing in Canada by REIN’s president, Don Campbell, focuses the reader on setting up their dreams and vision for a future of prosperity. What is great about these initial steps (which are also the most important) is that it sets up your Real Estate Success Road Map, or basically your vision about what Canadian real estate can do for you (and this doesn’t mean in monetary terms either). What Don Campbell writes in the “Real Estate Investing in Canada” book is that investments in Canadian property only get you the money, but what do you want out of life? What Don Campbell calls your ‘Personal Belize’ is very important as it gives you an opportunity to write down all your dreams and goals in life and how real estate investing in Canada can eventually get you to that point of retiring early, owning recreational property in resorts, buying a penthouse suite or having a family, whatever your dreams will take you. “Real Estate Investing in Canada” focuses the reader on developing their Personal Belize prior to engaging in any steps in looking for property, and this is very important for any beginner or professional in this market. Next up, Don Campbell focuses the reader on how to determine what is real and what is not or What’s Behind the Curtain as he calls it. This will allow real estate investors to determine for themselves what is fact from assumption or hype. The twelve keys to determine if an area is a boom or bust is also the next chapter in Real Estate Investing in Canada. Here, Don Campbell then leaps into how to find the best properties in the best areas in the Canadian property market in addition to an explanation of the real estate cycle and the property goldmine score card.

The Second Part of Real Estate Investing in the Canadian Market
The second part of Don Campbell’s best selling book on Canadian property investments and the ACRE system include how an investor can successfully analyze each an every individual real estate property to determine whether or not it fits into your personal belize or your goals. In addition, Don Campbell’s “Real Estate Investing in Canada” also explains the steps that you need to take in order for your banker to say yes to everyone of your properties and getting the best financing you need to close on your properties. Another important goal of Don Campbell is the education component on your personal finances that include cashflow versus equity capital gains in Canadian real estate and how that may affect your corporate job and lead you into the world of successful investments in real estate full time. Lastly, Real Estate Investments in Canada will lead you through a personal action plan that you must take in order to follow the ACRE system and create wealth through investing in Canadian property. This financial self-help and real estate investment education guide goes into specific steps and checklists that you need to follow to build wealth through the ACRE system and is therefore different from the conceptual educational books by Robert Kiyosaki.
