5 out of 5 stars Fabulous book   August 17, 2009

I decided to read this book after reading What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know about Cash Flow by the same author. His books are fabulous. Not enough real estate investors read them. In addition, industry professionals such as brokers, appraisers, and lenders would benefit by reading it. I think the information in this book is extremely important because financing arrangements can make or break the returns for the property. Not many investors may realize this, but debt service is the biggest expense item. If you get this one right, you have a chance to reap some benefits of owning properties. If you are a real estate investor and do not understand what loan-to-value and debt coverage ratio are, then this book is for you.

- Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market? Learn how to invest your money, how to pick stocks, and how to make money in the stock market



4 out of 5 stars Good for beginners and inexperienced investors   September 6, 2008

I already have real estate investments and I was looking for books on the 'next step' for my financing needs. This was not it. I give it credit for being a good 'nuts and bolts' book. It is NOT one of those 'you can do what I did' fluff books. The title is 'Inside Secrets'. I would re-title it 'Critical Fundamentals'. It's great information, but I don't recommend it if you already have your feet wet in real estate investing.


3 out of 5 stars The book is too basic for experienced investors   May 24, 2007

If you are new, this book might offer more insights, but for the experienced investor there was very content to justify buying it. The only gem I took away from this was preparing a presentation binder on a property for a bank when seeking financing.


4 out of 5 stars Great info on how the loan process works   April 9, 2007

This is much better than his cash flow book. Really provides insight about the borrowing process and what lenders expect. Great for understanding the terms. Covers Loan to value, Debt Coverage ratio, Different types of lenders and uses. He compares zero down deals, all cash deals, and the mix of both and points out the real deal of all the scenarios. Also gives good instruction on how to be prepared when going to a lender.

This book is not motivational type at all. Just facts and info about what I mentioned above. It made a lot of things very clear to me. A must read if you are not familiar with the loan process and terms.

Buy this book and the "What every real estate investor needs to know about CASH FLOOW" by the same author, you are well armed in the field of commercial real estate. Both books are easy to read and you will learn a wealth of practical information that can be put to use immidiately. I don't normally write comment for books I purchased, but these two books are special. It is my way to say thanks to the author.
