From the author of a #1 Bestseller of commercial real estate books on Amazon, "The Due Diligence Handbook For Commercial Real Estate." Quit running your investment property under the influence of "hopeium"; that delusional state under which you believe everything will work out fine without putting forth any effort or thought into creating value with it. That's the way most investors approach their investment property management plan. Without a strategy for increasing value with your property management plan is just taking the "lottery" approach. Your chances of creating additional value go up dramatically when you implement the proven tactics and tips that are given in this handbook. My objective in writing this handbook about creating value for commercial real estate is to help those owners and commercial real estate professionals discover the successful strategies I've encountered, learned, and practiced over my career. I wish I had this knowledge when I was starting out. It would have saved me from much frustration and a lot of trial and error learning. When I read for instructional purposes, I want the "Cliff Notes" version. In other words, I want the 20% that will give me 80% of the results I'm looking for and not a bunch of minutia with 30 to 50 pages of fluff that I have to sift through to find the helpful tips or key points. I also include some examples and stories so that you can see how these work in the real world. If you've read my book, "The Due Diligence Handbook For Commercial Real Estate" you know what I'm talking about. I attribute its popularity to the fact that it cuts through to the "meat" of the subject and gives the reader the step-by-step instructional information needed to conduct due diligence properly when buying investment properties. Your "golden" opportunity may turn to "lead" if you don't know where to find the hidden problems, undiscovered issues, and value creation opportunities an investment may hold. Much money can be saved and made by learning how to do it properly. Unfortunately, most investors and real estate professionals don't know how to properly conduct due diligence because they "don't know what they don't know." The fundamentals remain the same for the most part, when it comes to adding value and leasing. This information can be used across the various genres of commercial real estate investments, whether it's office and industrial, retail or multi-family residential properties. I comment from time to time throughout this book on the different angles or strategies you may want to consider for the different property types, which I have obtained from my own background and experience of 30+ years in the commercial real estate industry-or from those I know to be the best at their specialty. In this handbook you will learn: *How to determine the best way to price the rental for your investment property to get it leased at the highest rent *Tips and strategies to make your property attract tenants *How to interview and hire the right people that will help you get your property leased and create more value *How to structure your lease rate and terms to create the most value for your investment property *How to incentivize tenants to lease in a down or over crowded market *Essential analysis forms, proposal and lease form samples, tenant application and other forms that will help you to focus in, make it easier and more efficient The good news is that these are very learnable skills, tips and strategies (of which there are many in this book) that can be put into use right away to enhance your efforts to add value to your real estate. Learn the fastest and most efficient ways to increase cash flow and value with your investment property. This information will pay for itself exponentially, over and over again. Buy it today.
