More About the Author

I have been writing professionally since 1978 and fulltime since 1984. Previously, I was an accountant.
From 1978 to 1984 I wrote part-time and also was a consultant in the financial services industry. Once I began writing fulltime, I began in the magazine journalism field as a freelancer. In 1985 and 1986 I wrote approximately 500 articles in business, trade and professional magazines. I then switched over to books exclusively and have written over 70 books. These include my own as well as ghost-written projects.
Today I like to work on multiple books at the same time, normally two or three projects. Being able to switch back and forth keeps the writing process fresh and interesting. I generally write from 7 a.m. until noon and spend afternoons on research.

This review is from: Getting Financing & Developing Land (Paperback)

The book pretty much delivers on what it promises. It provides an easy to follow progression of Land Development which is perfect for the beginner developers or investors. The book was easy to read and helped solidify many things I believed were essential in Land Development and provided a few items of information that will be very useful in my future endeavours.
