5 Stars Foundation of the Basics for Commercial Property Investing
I must say I was slightly biased prior to purchasing this book.
I mean, with Trump slapping his ‘signature’ over this book, I figured
the book was definitely worth a read. Many years ago I found his Art of the Deal
book, which was a real eye-opener and tremendous confidence and motivational booster
for me in my own attempts to purchase real estate.
However as I stated in the title the books does a good job of trying to get you to understand the foundation,
or principles of ‘beginning’ and to get
you to do what other books of this type set out to do- to TAKE ACTION. All the amount
of reading one can do is nothing compared to actually ‘cutting your teeth’ and experiencing
the actual investing, purchasing, running the numbers, meeting with brokers/sellers that one must do.
I purchased my first residential single family property at the age of 21. I made 100% profit (at the time close to USD$150K) in less than 6months, because of
the Rich Dad Poor Dad books – I only wish I had read a book like this one years ago!
In summary, the book is a must-read for those needing initial education in investing in Commerciail Property (which also includes ‘commercial’ multi-family/multi-unit
Residential Property). You won’t get a very in depth how-to, but it does provide the basics, the rest is upto you.
Take Action!
5 Stars My opinion
I have read all of Dave Lindahl’s books. I also bought his course. Of all the so called “Guru’s” out there, I find him to be the best! Commercial properties are for “Investor’s”, Residential properties are for “Home Owners”. His book is very refreshing & covers the basics & beyond. I have been a Broker for 28 years, mainly Land & Commercial Mortgages. I highly recommend his material.
3 Stars Decent
This book isn’t actually written by Donald Trump, but that doesn’t mean it’s not any good. I haven’t read the book cover to cover yet but I have flipped through and read about 50% I would say and I am satisfied with the product for the price.
5 Stars GREAT BOOK!
This is a must read for all real estate investors. I couldn’t put it down.
5 Stars Loved this book
This book completely got me off of Residential, I read a lot of books on residential, and the more I read, the more I didn’t want to have anything to do with them.
Great info which touches base on multifamily investing. If you’re looking for Retail, Office, Industrial, there’s still good information, but half the book is geared more towards Multifamily.
