Praise for MAVERICK REAL ESTATE FINANCING
"Once you start reading, you won't be able to put the book down. You will feel you are part of the deals that industry leaders have put together. This is a real book about real people and how they address risk and reward."
--Bruce S. Schonbraun, Managing Partner The Schonbraun McCann Group LLP
"Bergsman applies a journalist's logic to the complex world of commercial real estate, making it easier for outsiders to understand. He writes with the authority of a true insider."
--Brannon Boswell, Managing Editor Shopping Centers Today
"Congratulations. Finally, someone has written a book that reflects real estate finance in the twenty-first century. With the growing proliferation of real estate education in university business schools today, this book should be required reading!"
--James D. Kuhn, President Newmark Knight Frank
In Maverick Real Estate Financing, Steve Bergsman--author of the widely acclaimed Maverick Real Estate Investing--describes the various financing methods you can use to achieve real estate investment success. Maverick Real Estate Financing also introduces you to an innovative group of real estate professionals who have used these methods to build substantial fortunes.
By listening to some of the world's most successful real estate Mavericks--includingWilliam Sanders, W. P. Carey, and Stephen Ross--you'll discover what sets them apart from the rest of the pack and learn how to apply their proven principles to your own real estate deals.
Each chapter examines a different real estate financing technique and the Maverick who best exemplifies it. Some of the strategies and products discussed include:
* Equity financing
* Public and private REITs
* Agency loans
* UPREITs

* Retail site arbitrage
* Conduit loans
* Sale-leasebacks
* Distressed mortgages

Review Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: grate book at any level. it will give you most of the financials insights you will need to know in real state business.

Review Summary: As described
Review: I was pleasantly surprised at how useful this book has been. It describes different types of funding as well as some of the characters who have created some of the funding schemes and instruments we use today. Not all of the info is what I would call 100% timely; some of the bio's go back to the '60's. Still, it has helped me piece together the commercial funding puzzle which is the next step in investing that I would like to take.

Review: I liked this book, but it really only provides you ideas on how to raise capital. It is not a real how to guide. So if you are looking for that, look elsewhere...

Review Summary: Examine Your Motivation
Review: This rating is based on how well the book met my expectations. If you are honestly ready and focused on joining the ranks of Zuckerman, Shorenstein, Zell, or Trump, then a book like this might serve well as a type of guide post. You would then be dealing with projects in the $100 million plus range. If, however, your focus is on the lower end of the spectrum ... like financing apartment buildings under $5 million - with or without the aid of an investment group - you will not gain much in the way of practical knowledge from this book

Review Summary: Real Estate Entrepeneurs - This is Your Must Read!
Review: I live, breathe, eat, and sleep real estate - everything from the single family homes to the development deals to the commercial turn-key acquisitions.
There are few books that are must reads in the world of the cookie-cutter industry that is dangerously overplayed. That is why Steve Bergsman's book is a must read (several times over). Financing, especially in the world of commerical lending, is a complicated subject that many investors across the spectrum do not put enough thought into. Bergsman offers great insight on not only the mavericks that pioneered (or help to pioneer) the concepts, but he also provides great examples of deals done in every creative, yet ethical and legal, way to structure financing.
As the owner of a capital funding group - this is what makes me tick - this book should be refreshing for those that are fed-up with the over-leveraged (and often danagerous) ways to finance real estate. This is a long-term success book that highlights how multi-million dollar deals that keep you in business are structured. Donald Trump's most famous saying regarding thinking big fits this book. You can reach it if you just know what to look for.
I believe in meat-and-potatoe reviews, so here is the meal:
- Sale-leasebacks are discussed
- REITs
- Commingled Capital
- Raising Capital/Equity Financing
and much more are discussed in impressive detail. So think big by buying this book. Stay in business by buying this book!
