 A Must Read for Commercial Real Estate Investors! June 22, 2008
An excellent book covering all aspects of commercial real estate. Dominantly multi-family residential. Many enhanced checklists to follow, real life examples, and internet links for more info. I look forward to following Peter's techniques to one day be able to close large profitable deals, too!
 They are Obviously Not Commercial Real Estate Professionals May 14, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a seasoned commercial real estate investor, let me say this is a horrendous book. Much of what they say is just plain wrong. THE REST IS FLUFF AND HYPE. It may sound good on paper but much of their advice will simply not work in the real world.
I bought this for my son to "get his feet wet" and decided to peruse it prior to giving it to him. Thank God I did! It is now in the trash can.
Additionally, much of it is just a sales plug for their other products. After reading it I doubt they are commercial real estate professionals but rather self proclaimed gurus. Those of us "in the know" see right through this book. SKIP THIS BOOK! IF I COULD RATE IT LOWER THAN A 1 I WOULD!
A "must have" for beginning commercial real estate investors April 11, 2008

I love commercial real estate so I have read a lot of books. Most of them are dry and hard to read. This one spoon feeds you all the way to the end.
I recommend this book for anyone interested in investing in the wonderful world of commercial real estate. It is also a great reference book for experienced investors. It is on my shelf! Peter Conti and Peter Harris have written a great book...Good job guys! Rob from www.WealthLifelines.com

I thought this book was well written. Certainly better than most of the real estate investing books out there.
However, . . . they mention their website a few times in the book and claim to have additional materials and information available on the website that wouldn't fit in the book. When you go the website, you must put in your contact information to access these additional materials. Fair enough.
Later, you will be contacted by a "mentor," offering you the chance to join their coaching program for the bargain basement price of $9800! That's right! $9800.
Plus, as a special promotion, they will only take 50% of the first $100,000 you make in your real estate investing career. (Not sure what they do if you don't make any money.)
I was really disppointed. I thought I had finally come across a well-written book that wasn't just a come-on to get you to join a ridiculously expensive "training progran." I was wrong.
Oh, one more thing. The authors let you know that they are good Christians who give thanks to the Lord. I guess they are extremely thankful that a sucker is born every minute.
