I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone who needs a comprehensive understanding of the entire process of commercial investment and due diligence. It's a great reference whether you are acquiring, managing, or disposing of your asset.

Very, Very, Very good. Written by someone who knows what they are talking about. When the top land appraiser in my county and another local real estate expert told me I HAD to get this book I had to go see it for myself. The appraiser said he had to buy it after looking at it and this guy has something like 18 years experience and is THE land expert in my county of over a million people. This book is a slam dunk. I am so tired of all that fairy tale pie in the sky nothing down late-night infomercial garbage. This is what you want to get, real information by people who have been there and are not trying to sell you a $200 get-rich-quick course.
One of my all time Real Estate favorites...

Finally a book that covers real estate from a perspective other than "single family flips using no down payment". This book even covers development. Everything from how to pick the right investment using the numbers, improving leases and how to manage to increase the value of your investment. He shows you where to find data to help in the due diligence process; how to find partners and arrange financing; how to use spreadsheets to crunch the numbers before purchase, during ownership and to benefit in the sales process. No stone is left unturned.
Finally, a book with data you can use!

An excellemt guide to the labyrinthine world of the real estate investor. Rider has liberally laced his easily readable text with helpful suggestions and admonitions about typical pitfalls that can trip up the less savvy beginner. Much of the info in this book is, literally, worth its weight in gold! I consider it a must have for anyone serious about purchasing income property. If only Rider hadn't been too busy to write 10 years ago!
Best in 20 Years !!

I have read books on real estate investing for over twenty years and have learned more from yours than all of the previous ones put together! Stuart gets right to the eseence of where the real money is to be made in real estate which is basically in the development process. No flim-flam schemes here, his approach walks you through the most profitable aspects of real estate investing. It really opened my eyes as I saw real estate from an entirely different angle.Edvard Redding Richardsauthor of Fire Your IRA!
