Commercial Real Estate Investing: A Creative Guide to Succesfully Making Money Paperback – February 8, 2008

This book is exciting and easy to read, as compared to dull textbooks. Dolf shares his worldwide experience and lets us re-live his deals. I learned more about commercial investing than in years as a real-estate agent. And one of his core teachings is “never sell” - which I have not heard anywhere else.

I loved this book. Excellent education about how to find tenants, which equations to learn to evaluate a property, and plenty of examples to learn from. I plan to read all of Dolf’s books.

This book has convinced me to start focusing my energies towards commercial real estate investing vs. residential investing. The author has experience on both areas and has written books on both commercial & residential investing. His experiences and college lecturing convinces me he is a reputable source. He doesn't make any crazy get rich promises, but provides a good frame of reference to operate from which include finding property, finding tenants, factoring whether it is a good buy, and financing etc... I can't wait to put the ideas to work. I recommend the book to any one curious about getting started in commercial real estate investing. In fact, I'm buying a copy for my father-in-law who only invests in residential rental homes.

But it

Even if you can get just one tip from this book it is well worth the the time to read and the money to buy this book. This book has many tips. It is a must read for anyone looking to gain more knowledge in commercial real estate.

I had to use this book for a course. I normally never read my textbooks front to back but this one is written very well and easy to understand. I learned a lot from this book.

I read this 3 years after reading and starting to apply the lessons from his previous book real estate riches as I was contemplating the shift from residential to commercial real estate investing and I was not disappointed.Every chapter has more insight than a 2 year MBA program, after reading the book every lemon you see turns into a pig fat grape fruit, I successfully participated in a commercial real estate project, development of a 50,000 sq foot shopping mall, which felt like my 10 project thanks to the insights from the book.I am now working to structure a 5 mall portfolio and the confidence was all from Doolf.

I had the privilege of reading his book with Robert Kiyosaki, hearing him on audio tapes and then seeing Dolf de Roos at a Robert Kiyosaki event may years ago. His writing is very clear and well written conversational style. Really like having a mentor beside you.
