Book Reviews of Commercial Real Estate Investing For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))
Book Review: Practical, easy to find info, a must have!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally, a resource for doing commercial real estate! And with humor. All too often these kinds of books are dry and tough to find the info you need. This is NOT the case with Peter and Peter's book. When I got the book I needed some help on how to find private funding. I checked the table of contents and sure enough, there it was. The information was consise and very helpful with a few chuckles thown in.
They cover such a wide range of topics. Commercial real estate is frequently overwhelming, even to experienced real estate investors who have focused on single family homes. But Peter and Peter make it so clear with step by step directions that it removes the mystic.
I highly recommend this book. Remember, someone owns all those buildings, why not you?
Book Review: The Book I've Been Waiting For!
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the years, I've read numerous real estate investing books. Starting with residential investing, I quickly realized that it was commercial investments that would provide the life I wanted. There are some good books out there, but nothing that gave me the complete picture, the entire package of information from the beginning to the end. Finally, there IS such a book. Peter Conti and Peter Harris have written it! Commercial Real Estate Investing for Dummies is by far the best book for commercial real estate investors that I have ever read.
If you study it and really take the advice to heart, you'll understand the business completely. It's written in a very readable style, so even if you're brand new to the concepts you can understand and remember them. Or, if you're a seasoned investor, you can whiz through the chapters that cover familiar ground, and spend some extra time reading the chapters that will really strike home to you. For example, the chapter, "Why Properties Fail," particularly resonated with me. I learned enough in that chapter to save me from making some common mistakes.
Commercial Real Estate Investing for Dummies is a great book. The authors' experience and knowledge is evident in every page. The book is well-organized, so you can start at the beginning as a raw newcomer, read to the end, and have an excellent foundation to begin your commercial investing. Or, you can go right to a section that interests you, such as "Kicking Your Investing into High Gear," and learn all about expert tax advantages or how to make a success out of commercial fixer-uppers.
If you're interested in commercial real estate investing, then Commercial Real Estate Investing for Dummies is the best book you can read.
Book Review: It's the "Cliff" notes for commercial real estate
Summary: 5 Stars
It's the best of lectures in commercial real estate. The information comes from two men who spend their life practicing what they preach. And they want to share it with you. I could have used this book long ago, but good things do come to those who wait. Its existence is timeless. I cannot phantom not being able to access this book as a serious real estate investor. It is good schooling.Book Review: A must have for your RE investing library
Summary: 5 Stars
Wiley outdid themselves with Conti and Harris writing on commercial real estate investing. There is a lot of meat between the covers that is delivered in very digestible pieces. I highly recommend the book and will use it often.
They cover every aspect of investing from start to finish in enough detail to actually put into action. Many books have left me dangling with too many gaps to fill. This book walks through each step of the process with enough content to put into practice. This is a great refresher for active investors, or a big step into the world of commercial real estate investing for beginners.
Happy Investing!
