From the Back Cover

"The Encyclopedia of Commercial Real Estate Advice is a serious, bottom-line book about making and modeling sound business decisions around buying and selling a commercial property. It covers raising money from investors, due diligence (most important in my opinion), developing from the ground up, repositioning a property to its highest and best use (my personal favorite), leasing and management, and of course, financing. It's probably the most useful advanced real estate book I have ever read."
--PETER HARRIS, Bestselling author of Commercial Real Estate Investing for Dummies
