Favourite books for the Canadian market

[Mark Locki]

Hello Canadian BP'ers,

I'd love some recommendations for books to read on real estate investing that's more specific to the Canadian investor.  I know there can be differences between how the US and Canada operates in terms of legal structures, financing, and others, so I'd like to find some help on the topics specific to Canadians.

A little about what I'm planning on investing in.  I'm currently looking at multi-family properties (3 units+) in the Moncton area, and will eventually look for properties in the Kootenays area of BC as well.  I'm investing for buy and hold cash flow.  Eventually as I learn more I'd like to get into value add investing, but for right now I'm looking for more turnkey properties.

I am reading The Real Estate Retirement Plan by Calum Ross right now, and just picked up the Bigger Pockets Long Distance Investing book (which on quick look seems very specific to the US market, although I'm sure there'll be good general advice as well).  If you have any other recommendations that would be great!

@Mark Locki, I would echo @Cory Graham's words.  I have read several by Don Campbell and liked them.  One of his books (Real Estate Investing in Canada) is really what go me started.  I also like his book on Joint Ventures.  I have also read Making Money in Real Estate (Douglas Gray), Canadian Real Estate Investor Financing: 7 Secrets to Getting All the Money You Want (D. Barsoum & E Venuto), and More Than Cashflow (J. Broad).  All good Canadian books.

Hope that helps.
