81 Financial and Tax Tips for the Canadian Real Estate Investor - by Don R Campbell & Navaz Murji & George Dube (Hardcover)

From the Back Cover

Keeping your books in order and your taxes minimized are crucial elements for profitable real estate investing, and it's vital for real estate investors to take an active role in their administration. 81 Financial and Tax Tips for the Canadian Real Estate Investor offers clear direction and applicable examples to unravel these often complex issues that are key to maximizing your revenue and reducing your taxes. This isn't a guide to tax evasion or dodgy accounting. This is a guide to understanding the limitations, requirements and benefits of the Canadian system and making sure that they work for you, the investor, and not against you.

Different forms of property ownership and property type bring with them variations in how they must be accounted for in your books and the taxation rules associated with them. These differences are not the responsibility of your accountant or lawyer, they're yours. 81 Financial and Tax Tips for the Canadian Real Estate Investor is an accessible guide to tax and accounting and how these concerns intersect with your real estate investments.

If you're serious about your real estate investments, 81 Financial and Tax Tips for the Canadian Real Estate Investor is a vital resource that will help you maximize your revenue and keep more of that money in your bank account.
