The 5 best Canadian real estate investing books

Here is a list of our favourite Canadian Real Estate Books for the Real Estate Investor as of January 2022. If you’ve looked into real estate books before, you’ve probably noticed that most of them are geared towards American investors. There is a lot to be learned from the US books, but some books include very specific US tax and legal information that can be a waste of time for investors who plan to stick to Canadian real estate investing.

This book is full of great advice and is written in a way that keeps you engaged and gets you excited. It will leave you with a plan for acquiring enough rental properties to be financially independent and lead you to some other great resources for getting there.

This is without a doubt the best book for the Canadian real estate investor to start with. It’s got all the basics and enough to get you started. It is the only real estate specific book that I had read when I bought my first rental property. It’s an incredibly entertaining read and it’s got enough facts to get you through your first deal.

This book is not written specifically for any one country. Dolf talks about his global real estate experience in both commercial and residential properties. The book is both motivational and educating. It’s at a higher level than most of the Don Campbell books. Dolf does a great job of explaining the potential that real estate investment holds. It is guaranteed to give you at least a few ideas for how to get the most out of a property or a deal.

The purpose of this books is mainly inspiration and motivation. If you haven’t already read it, it will change the way you think about getting rich – it will change the way you think about almost everything.. I’d say this book is a must read for any one starting some money-making venture, it puts you on the right track and gets you excited about how close at hand substantial passive income is for you. The book is American, but it doesn’t focus too much on US specific tax law. Most of what it teaches on the benefits of holding assets in corporations rather than as an individual, is totally applicable to the Canadian tax system.
