Basic Intro

Written by a commercial mortgage broker with experience in the industry, the book gives the reader a basic introduction to commercial real estate, the decision matrices as well as the steps in the lifecycle from pre-purchase through sale or exchange. A good introduction to commercial real estate investing.

Great information, excellently written

Really enjoyed every page of this book, down to the apendices at the end. Written in a refreshingly natural way, which made it so much more enjoyable to read. Well deserving of a 5 star rating.

Good book for a foundational knowledge of commercial real estate

The book leaves a lot of questions and could use more real world examples. However it is a good book for getting initial information on the subject.
