In A Crowded Field, This Is a Book Worth Buying November 16, 2007
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
I like this book -- I like it a lot. I like the writing style. I like the practicality of its advice and I like the fact that disguised within the "chit-chatty" style is a great deal of substance.
Among others, topics covered include property analysis, building a team of professionals, and protecting your assets. For anyone interested in making the leap from residential to commercial real estate investing this book will certainly be a valuable addition to your real estate investing library.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I should say that I am an attorney, real estate broker, investor, trainer, and author of another unique and highly readable book on real estate investing that can also be found here on Amazon -- The WealthLoop Series Beginner's Guide to Building Wealth Buying Houses: The Foolproof Roadmap to Real Estate Riches Without the Risks and Hassles of Landlording. If you're not ready for the complicated world of commercial real estate, this is the place to start.
I believe that Ms. Villasenor has written an informative book that's worthy of your time. Buy it if you are serious about making a success of real estate investing.
Good info for intermediate investors November 2, 2007
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
As Monica states, this isn't a beginner book but geared more toward the investor who has done several real estate transactions. I liked her style, she doesn't hold anything back, and uses examples of her own investments to learn from (both mistakes & successes). She focuses on apartment buildings, not really office or retail, but it is still helpful for financing options and putting deals together.
I have to agree with another reviewer regarding the typos in the book! It's weird that it was published with so many, but I guess it was rushed to press.
Overall a good book...four stars.
Honest Account with Pros and Cons November 1, 2007
9 out of 15 found this review helpful
Monica Villasenor writes honestly about her experiences as an investor. The good, the bad, and the ugly are included in this book. A great read for someone wanting an HONEST account of the experience of commercial real estate investment. The author also includes some key points for newbees to watch out for. She also goes through some of the critical formulas involved in the due diligence process, and explains some of the pitfalls of investing. This book is an easy read as the author does not allow herself to get bogged down in technical jargon and detail. There are other books that will be more technical in nature than this one and much more difficult to read. This book is a must for anyone interested in commercial real estate.
Exactly what I was looking for October 1, 2007

This book is very helpful for anyone exploring whether to take that giant leap into commercial real estate investing. It was exactly what I needed - the real "nuts & bolts" of understanding, valuing and buying commercial real estate. I was surprised to find so many typos in the book. The typos do tend to be distracting and detract from the valuable information the author is attempting to impart. If you can ignore the typos, however, the content is superb.
