Book Synopsis

FINALLY-A PROVEN INVESTMENT SYSTEM FOR REAL ESTATE INVESTORS

Many Canadians think about real estate as a profitable investment. Extra cash every month. Equity growth that can fund their retirement. And maybe it's not that hard to get started...

But many Canadians begin to make excuses about taking their first step into real estate investment. "The good properties have been snapped up already." "Prices are too high and I'll wait for the bubble to burst." "My brother-in-law says it's too risky and I'll lose my shirt."

Well, here's some great news for you: Amazing opportunities exist in the Canadian real estate market for investors who understand how big-picture economic fundamentals can be combined with sound analysis of investment properties to create exceptional wealth. The key to your success lies in learning the powerful strategies and techniques-used by thousands of successful and motivated investors-that you'll find in Real Estate Investing in Canada, a #1 national bestseller.

You'll discover the breakthrough Authentic Canadian Real Estate (ACRE) system, a step-by-step program designed to unlock the secrets behind profitable real estate investing. Developed by Canadians for Canadians, savvy investors have used the ACRE approach to purchase billions of dollars worth of residential properties. You will see how the ACRE system cuts through real estate market hype to deliver honest answers to critical investment questions. Here are just a few of the highlights of the ACRE system:

  • How to spot markets that are over-priced and under-priced

  • How to know if a town will boom or bust-before it happens

  • How to accurately analyze any property-even if you're a novice investor

  • Decide, within 30 seconds, whether a property has profit potential-or not

  • The 18 secrets to street-smart negotiations and how to use them to get the deal you want

  • The 7 proven strategies that will get the bank to say "yes" to your deals

  • How to get you offer accepted, even in a competitive market

  • The Cash Flow Zone Formula-the perfect tool to determine if a property will provide positive cash flow

  • The single most important step for an overachieving real estate investor (it's not what you think!)

The fundamentals of real estate markets evolve and the investor must understand the signals of communities that are set to grow and flourish, and those that are poised to decline. This is key knowledge to getting into-and out of-markets at the right time.

If you're serious about being an informed investor, read Real Estate Investing in Canada, learn the ACRE system, and step into the world real estate investing.
