Book Or Course Recommendations?
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on books or courses dealing with commercial RE investing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks : )

I would start with Lead the Field...a true classic. Though not specific to REI, you will not regret getting it...

Google the word CCIM
Who is the author of the book "lead the field"? [ Edited by glsmith on Date 04/28/2006 ]
Earl Nightingale...classic... I recommend the CDs to put in the car...

One book that is good for 10 units, "Make millions by buying small apartment properties in your spare time" Brian Freidman
Read, "How I turned $1,000 into $5 million in real estate, in my spare time" By William Nickerson. It is an oldy but still valid. It is an investment plan starting with 1 SFH to I believe a forty unti building. All about pyramidding your wealth.
CCIM courses look good too.
Napolean Hill: Think and Grow Rich...another must read/listen...

All the IREM stuff.
A good contract law course at your local community college
A course on Excel
Find a good commercial loan broker and discuss underwriting.
Also, just recently I purchased "Investment Analysis For Real Estate Decisions" It is a textbook on the subject of REI, it was $30 on amazon. I am only about 25 pages into it, but holy moly. It is so dense with practical information I feel like some real estate super-being after a 10 page reading session. Next I would like to read something about market analysis.
On Internet you can find all respective things.you can visit our site you may find good material...
