 The Book I've Been Waiting For! March 1, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
It's the "Cliff" notes for commercial real estate March 1, 2008
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.
A must have for your RE investing library February 29, 2008
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!

If you are interested in the field of commercial real estate then this is the book you have been waiting for. This book is not a dry tecnical how to but is enjoyable to read. It takes you through the ins and outs and ups and downs of analyzing, buying, selling, financing, managing, tax strategies of commercial real estate plus info on appraisal & realtor carrers. I just recommended this to a friend who owns severable apartment buildings that he had all in his own name. The asset protection he will learn from this book will save him a fortune. Many thanks to the authors!
Fantastic Book for New and Seasoned Investors February 19, 2008

This is a must read for both new and experienced commercial investors. Having read more than a dozen books on commercial real estate investing over the past few years, I can honestly say that this book rates as one of the best. This book does an excellent job of combining the most useful information in an easy to read format with lots of useful tidbits throughout. The authors go beyond summary level information about the topic and really cover important details that can be put into action right away. There is also some really helpful information accessible through a website that accompanies this book. From topics such as negotiations and property finding to raising private capital and property management, this book covers all topics a real estate investor must deal with on a daily basis to be successful. If you are new and looking to get into the investing game this is a great place to start. If you have been investing for several years the book is a great refresher.
