Title: Real Estate Principles: A Value Approach

Real Estate Principles: A Value Approach demonstrates how value is central to virtually all real estate decision-making. Students using Ling and Archer should finish the course with a value-oriented framework and a set of valuation and decision making tools that can be applied in a variety of real-world situations. The key to making sound investment decision is to understand how property values are created, maintained, increased or destroyed. Since the launch of Real Estate Principles: A Value Approach, significant and lasting changes have come upon the world of real estate. This is very true in real estate finance and capital sources where most of the traditional lenders have been transformed or displaced, giving way to a radically different set of players in mortgage finance. There has been change with profound and far-reaching implications in a world where it is understandable that property values can go down as well as up. This realization will color every aspect of real estate investment, finance and transactions for the foreseeable future.

Title: The Due Diligence Handbook For Commercial Real Estate: A Proven System To Save Time, Money, Headaches And Create Value When Buying Commercial Real Estate (REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION)

There’s a huge problem in the commercial real estate business that nobody is talking about- DUE DILIGENCE. Investors are leaving big money on the table by not learning these important principles. Most investors, real estate brokers and commercial real estate professionals barely scratch the surface conducting their due diligence. How do I know this? I’ve spent over 31 years helping investors buy and sell over 9 million square feet of properties and witnessed the practices of professional and small investors. It wasn’t until I became an acquisition executive and learned some humiliating and expensive lessons because “I didn’t know what I didn’t know”. After all the stress and sleepless nights, I’m sharing my “step by step” system, "The Due Diligence Handbook For Commercial Real Estate". You will learn how to avoid simple mistakes with costly consequences, create more value and much more essential information. This book is currently one of the top selling and highest rated commercial real estate books on Amazon. It is an easy to follow “roadmap” based upon a proven system that investors and real estate professionals around the world reference and keep as a constant companion as they’re conducting due diligence. It removes a lot of the “guess work” from the process, so you can make an informed and intelligent decision when deciding whether to buy or NOT buy. Having and adhering to a proven system allows you to conduct due diligence faster, easier, more efficiently and you’re less likely to miss something. Here are some of the lessons you’ll learn: Negotiating the purchase and sale agreement and what you MUST include in order to maximize your opportunities to negotiate further with the seller. (Super important to know.) Reviewing the leases including what provisions to watch for that could cost you dearly once you own it. (Without this knowledge you’re just hoping it all works out.) Uncovering hidden problems and issues that the seller will NOT disclose as well as how and where to look for them. The seller will not be handing you a list of them. (Many of them are essential and could make or break your investment.) Underwriting a property during your financial analysis. There are a list of essential questions included that MUST be addressed.(Leaving one of these questions unanswered can be potentially devastating to an investment.) Not over-paying by making sure you’re getting all you deserve and getting credited fairly for items on the closing statement. (This handbook offers specific items to review, with instructions on what to ask for, to minimize your chances of getting taken advantage of. This is where most investors fall short and lose big money by not having this information.) The fundamentals remain the same and they are all applicable; whether they are: residential rental properties, industrial or office buildings, skyscrapers or retail shopping centers. This system works for all of them. In addition, you get in this handbook . . . Sample Lease Abstract Form (Which shows you how to summarize all the main deal points of a lease document.) Due Diligence Checklist Due Diligence Document Checklist Sample Tenant Questionnaire (A sample list of questions that you should ask of tenants when conducting a tenant interview. This is a virtual “gold mine” of information when done properly. Learn this or lose out.) By having this knowledge and my "step-by-step" system, you will be more prepared, more confident in your ability to negotiate and go up against ANY seller. There are too many things to remember. We need reminding as much as we need learning. Buy the book now. It will be one of the
