This book rocks!!! 8 July 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I have never found such a comprehensive guide that is also so enjoyable to read. Jack weaves together a series of vignettes lack a master story teller -- each one brilliantly illustrating an otherwise complicated and elusive point. If you invest in real estate, buy this book!

Good for individual investors, less useful for professionals 30 Dec 1999
By A. J. Southwell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Focused on real estate deals in the <$2MM category, this book offers a treasure trove of helpful tips about how to work the angles to create maximum wealth from real estate investing. Especially useful are sections on goal-setting, negotiating, dealing with banks, and secondary financing.

The book is less useful for development professionals dealing with larger developments such as office buildings, apartment communities, etc, as it omits extended discussion of the institutional players. Both individuals and development professionals will find Zuckerman, Real Estate Investment and Acquisition Workbook a useful adjunct, with development professionals perhaps more intested in Brueggeman & Fisher, Real Estate Finance and Investments than this offering.

Solid, comprehensive, but a bit verbose 6 Jan 2002
By C Boyle - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This and Landlording, by Leigh, are my two fave's so far as a real estate investor. This one tends towards overkill with many, many examples but other readers may want that more than I did. There are one or two strategy recommendations I disagree with rather heartily, but it's clear, pretty much accurate, and very readable. The no-nonsense writing reminds me a bit of T. Dallow or J. Reed, both also recommended.

Excellent "Creative Real Estate Financing" manual 18 Feb 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This "no-nonsense" book, by a seasoned investor and broker, is mostly focused on non-traditional real estate financing vehicles. Bits and pieces on the subject have previously taught by various gurus, but this book covers ALL of them. If every Realtor and investor read this, we would all be better off.
