This is a very helpful book for anyone seeking to improve their real estate investment negotiating skills. Each chapter provides negotiation advice specific to the various parties involved in a typical real estate investment deal; including but not limited to partners, bankers, brokers, lawyers, sellers, tenants, property management companies, etc. The book provides real world advice that is bound to help you close deals. The book is a very quick read and will provide even the most experienced real estate investor with a good idea or two for his or her next negotiation.

I have a room full of books on R.E. investing. I have read most of them. This is one of the best. It is very readable and it is also enjoyable to read. The concepts of negotiation are well laid out. I have recommended it to dozens of folks, and I will continue to encourage anyone who is interested in R.E. or the ins and outs of getting what you want, in an ethical way, to buy it.

I first borrowed this book, as I have dozens of others relative to real estate, from my local library. I love books; I just don't feel that most of them are worth the purchase price. "Real Estate Dealmaking" definitely is! In order for a book to be useful to me, it must be easy to understand, and most importantly, it must make sense! I believe I will be referring back to this book for years to come. Check it out at your library. Then buy it and make your own notations in it. The publishing date is irrelevant. The information it contains is timeless. This book is awesome!

I had this book for some time before I was more interested in arbitration. Getting to yes is a great book to suppliment this book. I would read getting to yes first then this book. I rarely lend my books out because people tend to keep them. This was the case for a pair of friends that were preparing to buy a house. To date I still haven't recieved the book back from them and they've moved twice so far. Don't lend this book out.
