I have invested in real estate over the years and this is the first real estate book I have read that gives the reader a balanced (or a more realistic) approach to the positive and negative aspects of real estate investing. If you are considering investing in real estate, start with William’s book “Simple Solutions for Canadian Real Estate Investing.”. It will get you started quickly while helping to avoid some of the common pitfalls. If you are an experienced real estate investor but are having difficulties, this book may provide you with some ‘Simple Solutions…’.
Thanks for some great information on starting me into real estate. This book was very easy detailed but easy to understand. I recommend anyone thinking about getting into real estate and the management of tennants pick this book to read. Thanks William.
This book is an excellent resource for the novice investor or for anyone thinking about purchasing real estate. It contains a lot of great information, is written in simple terms, sometimes blunt and has splashes of humour throughout.
William’s book is a great guidebook for anyone considering real estate as a long-term investment strategy and I would definitely recommend it.
