 About the aurthor January 12, 2008

Happy New Year 2008! Just got up my copy and I'm excited to dive right in!!! :-)
This promises to be a great book!!! Why? In another great book I read about corporations the author mentions that what makes a company great is not so much the company but rather the key people in the company...i.e. "follow the people." Likewise I know this will be a great book because of the author, Peter Harris.
Several years ago, in my struggling days as an investor in the Bay Area (San Jose/ San Francisco, CA) I've had the pleasure of knowing Peter. He had already been investing in single family homes, was trading those up into multi-units (129 total units was my last count) and then onwards to bigger commercial deals. It seemed every year I talked to Peter his investing just grew to another higher level! I knew he had "made it" when I heard a major bank had flown in one of their chief financial officers to meet with Peter and see if he'd be willing to buy one of their commercial deals that was in trouble. Prior to that Peter was successfully investing in that town buying commercial deals, turning them around and making them cash flow.
So folks, the reason this promises to be a great read is because Peter is the real deal!!! Let me not to even mention Peter's warm character, giving attitude and coaching which is full of wisdom like Yoda, the Jedi Master, or Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid. And that is a whole other topic... I'll look forward for when he writes that book as well! :-)
Peter thanks for being you...an inspiration to us all!!!
Sincerely,

This book is structured to help you find, research, negotiate, finance and buy real estate of any type. In the market today, you don't want to risk not having the right information, which can be costly and drastically reduce your profit. This book is clearly laid out and includes tips from years of experience with commercial real estate and their mentorship students.
Face it, we're in this business to be profitable and reading this book will give you the insight and information to let you step ahead of other investors by providing you with a solid core education. The book begins with a good introduction and then explains how to find and contract properties that are profitable from the start with a clear exit strategy. From there, it's in depth due diligence to insure that property is still profitable and even explains how to discover hidden value during this process. The authors then take you through financing and raising capital to the day to day operations (which is where most properties fail). The final chapters discuss creating a self-sustaining investing business that not only allows you to have the wealth and protect it, but the time and freedom to enjoy it.
Overall, this book is a great reference and stepping stone to take action and start investing today or to fine tune your existing investing business and discover more wealth in your portfolio! No book is going to be a 100% bible because real-world experience is the key to learning, but this is the catalyst to get you going.
