GREAT BOOK!
This is a must read for all real estate investors. I couldn't put it down.
It's not another guru fluff book; it has real meat.
This book is written by David Lindahl with small commentaries by Donald Trump sprinkled through it. The book is loaded with real meat for the avid real estate investor who wants to get started in commercial real estate investing. It's not quite a full-blown step-by-step "how to be a commercial real estate investor" as explained in
Commercial Real Estate Investing For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance)) (which is my number 1 favorite commercial real estate starter book -- it's almost a complete business plan), but David Lindahl comes very close to it.
My only real complaint is Lindahl's insistence on letting the real estate broker take both sides of the commission, even when the broker hasn't earned it. If I had to find the property (by searching the Multiple Listing Service or other internet websites *and* I do all of the upfront financial analysis), then I want half of the total commission as a seller price concession. If the broker brought it to me as his own private unadvertised pocket listing *and* he has already done the financial analysis for me, then he has earned both sides of the commission.
As a new commercial real estate investor, this book is an excellent addition to my library. Keep a yellow highlighter handy when you read it.
Commercial Real Estate Investing 101
This book is a very easy read, in simple well laid out format. Perfect for a person just starting out in the Real Estate investing business. I especially liked all the formulas for determining if a deal is right for the investor to spend more time on.
