Get 81 tips on investing in real estate at book launch
April 06, 2010 Andreas Morse, Metro Edmonton
Don Campbell does not sell real estate. But the bestselling author does know a thing or two about making money off it.
Campbell is a real estate educator, researcher, personal real estate investor and president of the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN). The man of many trades is in Edmonton today to launch his latest book, 81 Financial & Tax Tips for the Canadian Real Estate Investor.
“It’s not how much money you make, it’s how much money you keep in your pocket at the end of the day,” Campbell said.
“If you’re blindly going into real estate without some sort of plan about what you’re going to do with those profits to minimize tax, you’re going to be writing a lot of large cheques to the government.”
In his latest book, Campbell has laid out tips to help people save money and decrease the amount of tax they pay when they sell their investments.
While he’s written on the subject before, Campbell makes his money through real estate, not book sales; proceeds from his books go to local charities.
“We’ve raised over $500,000 for Habitat for Humanity Edmonton,” Campbell said. “Anybody who buys the book is actually supporting a family in need.”
