In addition to being an excellent text for students and others interested in careers in real estate development, this book serves as essential background for all those whose responsibilities include any part of the development process."

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Phenomenal Job!, April 13, 2005

By	Mark Yoffe "Commmercial Mortgage Broker yoff... (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I read construction funding, prematurely perhaps, as one of my first ever real estate books - and I loved it! The book takes the reader through several once-real-life scenarios and explains the construction process step by step. I think that both ambitious beginners and more seasoned loan officers and developers would benefit from reading this book.
