I already have real estate investments and I was looking for books on the 'next step' for my financing needs. This was not it. I give it credit for being a good 'nuts and bolts' book. It is NOT one of those 'you can do what I did' fluff books. The title is 'Inside Secrets'. I would re-title it 'Critical Fundamentals'. It's great information, but I don't recommend it if you already have your feet wet in real estate investing.

If you are new, this book might offer more insights, but for the experienced investor there was very content to justify buying it. The only gem I took away from this was preparing a presentation binder on a property for a bank when seeking financing.

This is much better than his cash flow book. Really provides insight about the borrowing process and what lenders expect. Great for understanding the terms. Covers Loan to value, Debt Coverage ratio, Different types of lenders and uses. He compares zero down deals, all cash deals, and the mix of both and points out the real deal of all the scenarios. Also gives good instruction on how to be prepared when going to a lender.
This book is not motivational type at all. Just facts and info about what I mentioned above. It made a lot of things very clear to me. A must read if you are not familiar with the loan process and terms. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-05-25 13:19:28 EST)

Buy this book and the "What every real estate investor needs to know about CASH FLOOW" by the same author, you are well armed in the field of commercial real estate. Both books are easy to read and you will learn a wealth of practical information that can be put to use immidiately. I don't normally write comment for books I purchased, but these two books are special. It is my way to say thanks to the author.

No fluff or filler, this book tells you what you really need to know in concise and certain terms. It's a refreshing break from all the "No Money Down" motivational seminars in book form. This is the real stuff... highly recommended. After reading the first few pages, I got back online and bought his Cash Flow book.

I read this book as a follow up to Frank's other book, "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow".
Overall, I found the book to be an excellent summary of analytical ways to evaluate your alternative investments in real estate. The book contains numerous tables, reference charts and tools that one can use in analyzing investments. Frank has a unique [i.e., simple) way of taking the reader through an analysis or example of what otherwise would be a complicated discussion. Again, all in all, a great book. I refer to it frequently. Highly recommend it. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-06 08:38:16 EST)
