Campbell introduces the Authentic Canadian Real Estate (ACRE) system, the first system of its kind to show ordinary Canadians how to profit from investing in residential real estate. Told as a narrative, a typical Canadian couple named Richard and Emma successfully buy their first properties and now are ready to leverage their equity into more properties. In order to achieve their goals, they are introduced to a joint-venture specialist and, with his guidance, they learn how joint-venture partnerships work and secrets and strategies for acquiring new properties that only the pros know.

Campbell, Kieran Trass and Greg Head have collaborated with Christine Ruptash to produce this comprehensive guide to understanding the market cycle in your target area and which investment tactics to use to maximize profit in your current investments and strategically invest for portfolio growth.
Praise for Secrets of the Canadian Real Estate Cycle
“Wow! What a great book. I have lived and worked in many Canadian provinces and developed, built and sold more than $100 million of real estate in this great country—and this book makes me feel like an amateur!” –Brian Tracy, Author of No Excuses!: The Power of Self-Discipline and Reinvention: How to Make the Rest of Your Life the Best of Your Life
“This book is a game changer—it completely shifted my way of thinking! If you are at all considering real estate as an investment vehicle, or if you are a long-term investor—in fact, especially if you are a long-term investor—this book is a must read.” –Jim Sicotte, Canadian real estate investor
“As soon as I read the first chapter, I knew this would want to be read and re-read by every real estate investor. This book teaches you about the real estate cycle and provides invaluable tools that enable you to evaluate any market at any time.” –Peter Kinch, Real estate entrepreneur and financing expert
“I’ve been a real estate lawyer for 35 years focusing on the investment side. This book is an invaluable tool for any real estate investor who’s trying to understand how the market really works. I will be recommending it to all my clients, whether they are experienced or just starting out.” –Barry McGuire, Real estate lawyer, author and investor
“As an investor and developer, The Secrets of the Canadian Real Estate Cycle provides a vital guideline to make critical investing decisions.” –Rob Haberman, Real estate investor/developer
Lots of information has been published for those who wish to buy a new condo (known as a strata in BC) as a principal residence. With regard to investing in condos, there is an unfortunate perception that it is all about lining up to buy pre-construction units in a "hot neighbourhood" and flip them. Of course, people ignore market conditions and fundamentals, and get caught up in a kind of mass hysteria for which they will often pay a price down the road.
Condos represent a solid return on investment when purchased according to a strategy, by sticking to fundamentals, by carrying out proper due diligence, and by having an exit plan. The purchase of pre-construction condominiums is just as relevant in a real estate portfolio as owning freehold property. As well, benefits from the vantage point of tax and estate planning can also be realized. Until now, there has not been a comprehensive treatment of how to invest properly in pre-construction high-rise condos.
This book will give investors the nuts and bolts of undertaking such an investment. They will have the knowledge to proceed in a methodical way, with confidence, knowing they are asking the right questions, doing the math, and assembling the right team of experts.

"A tried-and-true strategy that teaches buyers how to safely purchase condominiums by conducting deep due diligence and market research to ensure the fundamentals and building financials are strong and sustainable. Brian Persaud and Randy Ramadhin show you exactly how to do your homework in a market that is often more emotional than it needs to be."
—Don R. Campbell, author of the bestselling Real Estate Investing in Canada 2.0 and Secrets of the Canadian Real Estate Cycle
"You must read this book to understand what wealthy real estate investors are looking at investing in condominiums. Brian and Randy have developed a very comprehensive book on factors that you should consider before putting a dime in real estate."
—Robert Shemin, New York Times best-selling author of How Come that Idiot's Rich and I'm Not?
