 Faint praise January 16, 2008
B. Anderson
This book was OK. On the one hand, it did have great tidbits of advice and due diligence checklists. These can be very useful tools in the right hands.
On the other hand, I found there was some repetition and their bonus tips were not as clear and helpful as the main 97. Importantly, there was a strong theme throughout the book that you should also buy the author's other books and join their real estate network. So, in the end the book was part informative and part sales pitch.
I also did not like the organization. It is, as the title implies, a list of 97+ tips. If later you want to find one tip in particular, the current layout makes it a bit difficult to find what you want. Of course, maybe I've just been spoilt by internet search engines.

This book gives useful tips about the small print side of real estate investment. For example, it really does matter from an investment perspective, whether the local taxes that an optimistic seller's realtor might not mention, will make or break a sale.
If this book saves you thousands of dollars, then it will have been worthwhile, will it not?
Good - but perhaps just a reiteration January 15, 2007

Although 97 tips is a valuable resource, author Don Campbell reiterates many of the same concepts explained in the ACRE System, such as doing the extra 10%, completing proper due diligence and the like. He does provide a few bonus tips and goes a little bit more in depth as to vacation properties, but if you already own ACRE, you don't necessarily need to own this one as well.

Another great book by Don Campbell and his team of real estate professionals. The 97 tips that this book is packed with have saved me a lot of time any money.
Regardless of where you are in your investing cycle, I'm sure that you can pick out at least ten points from this book to put to work right away and feel justified spending the money to buy it. In fact, a few of the tips have saved me thousands of dollars on purchases and made me thousands on sales.
Some tips are common sense that you might simply overlook or forget about when analyzing a property. Others tips are more specific to creating healthy, win-win joint venture deals and conducting the proper due diligence necessary to make both partners happy and successful.
No one book can teach you all there is to know, but it is valuable to have a set of quick starters to point you in the right direction. Don speaks from experience in the market and genuine, straight forward truth rings out.
My wife and I are Canadians based in Japan and we have been successfully investing into Alberta real estate for many years. We work with partners from all around the world and I can tell you from experience that these tips have helped save me money in financing, tenant management and setting up of JVAs- all of those profits have been added to my partner's returns, and happy partners help my business grow.
But, remember.. The tips only work if you put them into action!

Where does one begin? After reading Campbell's ACRE book on Canadian Real Estate and joining the Real Estate Investors Network I thought that I had found Nirvanha... but I was wrong. Dead wrong. THIS book, "97 Tips for Canadian Real Estate Investors", although by no means being a panacea for investors (versus SPECULATORS) is the hottest collection of tips that I have ever seen. There are only two 'mentors' that I follow - Don Campbell's REAL ESTATE INVESTORS NETWORK being one (with kudos to all of his associates including his co-authors Peter Kinch, Russ Westcott, Barry McGuire, et. al., they are THE dream team) and Fast Track to Cash Flow's Darren Weeks, my other Real Estate and passive income investments mentor in Canada. But I digress... what I have to say is simply this. In a nutshell. If you are a real estate investor or are even thinking about investing in real estate (as opposed to "speculating" in real estate) THIS book will provide you a distilled collection of 97 TIPS that are each worth a fortune on their own. IF you are a real estate investor (as opposed to simply a speculator) THIS book is a "no-brainer". It is a "MUST HAVE". No if, and's or but's about it. In fact, I have purchased dozens of copies of both of Don's books and hand them out to friends, relatives and associates who are in danger of shooting themselves in the foot as "speculators" as opposed to informed investors. It is the difference between making a solid informed decision on real estate investment and taking a shot in the dark at it ... or "speculating". IF you are an investor or thinking about investing... RUN don't walk to your nearest keyboard and buy at least two copies of this book. Why two? Simple... it's because anyone you mention it to or anyone who sees it is going to want to borrow it from you -and- you are going to be doing them a MAJOR favour by lending it. What more can one say? Check out their websites as well... www.ontariorein.com and http://www.fasttracktocashflow.com/ for Darren Weeks. You won't regret buying this book. And you won't regret taking on a couple of mentors who know TONS more than you do about real estate and passive income investments in Canada.
