5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive guide to all phases of development,
By
This review is from: Real Estate Development Workbook and Manual (Hardcover)
This at-first daunting volume provides an exhaustively detailed analysis of the development process from planning to cash-out. Zuckerman and Blevins offer a highly readable, highly useful and comprehensive guide to all phases of development. Beginning with the fundamentals of planning, site selection and dealing with the government, the 700-plus page text details number crunching, and finance before leading a step-by-step tour of the construction process. Common sense marketing advice and instruction on the maximization of return follow. The final chapter on responding to the changing cycles of the real estate industry may be worth the hefty price of this hefty book all by itself. Real Estate Development Workbook and Manual is jam-packed with lists, checklists and forms. One list, for example, points to every possible item for OSHA compliance. A real estate glossary to end all glossaries brings up the rear. Possibly the most fascinating part of the book is a huge pull-out chart called a Development Procedural Matrix Diagram. Its first effect is to have the reader considering taking up something a little simpler, like brain surgery. After some study, however, the matrix becomes an invaluable planning tool for the developer. By following the matrix it just might be impossible to miss a single step or fail to consider a single important issue in the development process. If real estate development is your business, this book would be a "must-have" even at twice the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Almost Comprehensive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Estate Development Workbook and Manual (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book as far as it goes, which is a lot farther than any other real estate development book of which I'm aware. This book is for those who want the equivalent of a Masters Degree in real estate, and is not geared to those without a backgroung in the business. I'm president of a development company, and we used this book to review our own methods, and we have consequently improved our effectiveness significantly. Nevertheless, in this electronic age, not to have a cd-rom of the spreadsheets he uses is a significant drawback to this otherwise excellent book

This is an excellent book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Estate Development Workbook and Manual (Hardcover)
I have reviewed the content of the book and it is excellent. With some good grounding knowledge of real estate development (for example reading the book "real estate development - principles & process" by Gayle Berens et al), this book will make you very knowledgeable in real estate, whether you are buying, building or managing a proprty.I bought the book and I am happy with it...I just hope that the author or the publisher will provide a CD with all the calculation tables included in the next edition of the book. This shortcoming does not diminish the usefulness of the book. Buy it, read it and keep it.
