3.0 out of 5 stars Examine Your Motivation, December 12, 2006
By 
Strateahed (Fremont, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maverick Real Estate Financing: The Art of Raising Capital and Owning Properties Like Ross, Sanders and Carey (Hardcover)
This rating is based on how well the book met my expectations. If you are honestly ready and focused on joining the ranks of Zuckerman, Shorenstein, Zell, or Trump, then a book like this might serve well as a type of guide post. You would then be dealing with projects in the $100 million plus range. If, however, your focus is on the lower end of the spectrum ... like financing apartment buildings under $5 million - with or without the aid of an investment group - you will not gain much in the way of practical knowledge from this book

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Anyone in Real Estate Finance, March 31, 2006

This review is from: Maverick Real Estate Financing: The Art of Raising Capital and Owning Properties Like Ross, Sanders and Carey (Hardcover)
Having been involved in the world of real estate high-finance for nearly two decades, I was intrigued by what Mr. Bergsman might have to say on the subject. Turns out, his take on financing methods and personalities in the industry was right on target. -- I should know, as I worked with some of them. It's a fascinating industry, and the author has made a fascinating read out of it. A must read for anyone in real estate finance and to understand the barons of the industry.

This review is from: Maverick Real Estate Financing: The Art of Raising Capital and Owning Properties Like Ross, Sanders and Carey (Hardcover)
This book is ok, in hindsight it might be better to get a real textbook with case studies.
