After the Fall Opportunities and Strategies for Real Estate Investing in the Coming Decade
Praise for After The Fall
“Steve Bergsman provides his readers with one of the most comprehensive, yet concise overviews of real estate and all its property types.”—Christopher Macke, Vice President, GE Real Estate
“This is an extraordinary work of detailed research and compelling writing. I’ve never seen the subject presented in such a cogent and skillful manner.”—Phil Hall, editor, Secondary Marketing Executive
“The way out of the financial crash of 2007/2008 will come through skilled operations, astute investing, and the ability of real estate practitioners to give up their mental memory of the future! The heated success of ten-year, unprecedented growth in the real estate industry has somehow atrophied the industry’s application of knowledge. What we need is a fresh look at opportunities and strategies for real estate investing. We are lucky that Bergsman’s book has fit the bill—just in time.”—Jack M. Cohen, CEO, Cohen Financial
“Insightful and informative; connects all the dots, providing the basis and foundation for making strategic decisions about real estate.”—Stephen Blank, Senior Fellow, Finance, The Urban Land Institute

5 Stars Real Estate Investing is Here to Stay! … Inspiring Read!
After the recent subprime mortgage debacle and present crisis in our economy, one certainly could question the wisdom of investing in real estate! Yet, Bergsman’s analysis of the various RE sectors and the opportunities that exist for investment both now and in the future is both very informative and quite reassuring. Whether for commercial properties or residential, Bergsman explains clearly how they’ve been impacted by the crisis, what to look for, and how to invest both wisely and cautiously in these challenging times and in the years ahead. Great insights! A great read!
5 Stars Wonderful
Finally a book to truly sum up today’s commercial real estate market. The case study approach perfectly captured the situation facing real estate investors in 2009. Great Book.
5 Stars Great Read!
Most of us have yet to figure out what happened to our investments over the last two years, so it’s fascinating that Steve Bergsman attempts to explain how different real estate sectors should play out over the next decade. His contentions seem very plausible.
5 Stars Bergsman’s Book Rises from the Ashes
Bergsman has an uncanny ability in analyzing the commercial real estate sectors that may rise from the ashes in his book, After The Fall. The book is timely, extremely well-researched and written, and aids readers in discerning what looks to be up vs. down amidst the market chaos. It’s a great read and very insightful.
5 Stars Review of Steve Bergsman’s new book, After The Fall
