Real estate financing lessons from some of the best minds in the business The real estate market is booming, and over the last few years, people have turned to this reliable investment because of its incredible potential. However, real estate investing is a much different beast than buying a home. The objective is no longer real estate for individual use, but to lease the property to others in order to create income. In this follow-up to the widely acclaimed Maverick Real Estate Investing, Steve Bergsman describes in detail various real estate financing methods that can be used for real estate investment success. Each chapter discusses a different financing technique from first mortgages, equity financing, conduits, and agency loans to low-income housing tax credits, distressed mortgages, and UPREITs and profiles real estate financing mavericks who have used these techniques to capture huge profits. While advice on real estate financing abounds, Maverick Real Estate Financing offers proven techniques and strategies from some of the best minds in the business including: W.P. Carey, and Robert Taubman. Steve Bergsman (Mesa, AZ) is a nationally recognized financial and real estate writer. For the past 20 years, he has been a contributor to many leading publications and regularly writes the ""Ground Floor"" real estate column in Barron's. He is also the author of Maverick Real Estate Investing (0-471-46879-7).

This will give you ideas, but not a real how to..........2007-01-16
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...
Examine Your Motivation.......2006-12-13
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
Real Estate Entrepeneurs - This is Your Must Read!.......2006-12-05
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!
Real Estate Business People - This is Your Must Read!
A must read for all in real estate .......2006-04-26
Steve Bergsman has outdone himself... Maverick Real Estate Financing is a natural progression from Maverick Real Estate Investing, and a must real for all who are immersed in the world of real estate financing. Through detailed examples of some of the world's greatest real estate financiers, Mr. Bergsman has given the reader a vivid picture of how to navigate their way through the numerous financial alternatives available to anyone interested in investing in real estate.
A Must Read for Anyone in Real Estate Finance.......2006-03-31
Having been involved in the world of real estate high-finance for nearly two decades, I was intrigued by what Mr. Bergsman might have to say on the subject. Turns out, his take on financing methods and personalities in the industry was right on target. -- I should know, as I worked with some of them. It's a fascinating industry, and the author has made a fascinating read out of it. A must read for anyone in real estate finance and to understand the barons of the industry.

AMAZING.......2007-02-14
This book is wonderful. I have never, in my life, thought that shopping centers and other retail properties could be so fascinating. A real page turner, and you'll probably learn soemething too!
AN OBSOLETE BOOK WITH OBSOLETE INFORMATION.......2006-11-13
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED TO READ THIS BOOK; IT IS SUCH A WASTE OF TIME. ALL EXAMPLES AND INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK IS FROM 1960s THROUGH EARLY 1990s. NOTHING IN THIS BOOK RELATES TO WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY(2000 THRU 2006)BECAUSE THIS BOOK WAS PUBLISHED IN 1996. VERY POORLY WRITTEN BOOK AND THROUGH OUT THE BOOK ALL YOU WILL SEE IS A NEGATIVE TONE ABOUT THE SHOPPING CENTER DEVELOPENT AND INVESTMENT. I THINK THE TITLE OF THIS BOOK SHOULD BE " HOW TO AVOID INVESTMENT IN SHOPPING CENTER INDUSTRY...."
I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY BODY WHAT SO EVER.

Customer Reviews:
The book is too basic for experienced investors.......2007-05-24
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.
Great info on how the loan process works.......2007-04-09
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.
Lakewood, CA.......2006-12-28
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.
One of the better real estate investment books.......2006-02-03
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.
Excellent Book.......2005-10-17
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.
Book Description
America's real estate market remained robust even during the recession of 2001-2002, and demand is expected to increase. Research reveals that consumers are jumping on the real estate bandwagon like never before, both as investors and as homebuyers. Financing is a critical factor in structuring real estate deals, and both beginners and pros alike are hungry for information about all the options. For the first time ever, real estate attorney and best-selling author William Bronchick presents a comprehensive picture of exactly what's available. In clear, step-by-step language, he outlines: *How to understand the mortgage loan market, including the advantages and disadvantages of various types of mortgages *Which mortgages make the most sense, depending on the investor's particular situation *Legal and ethical alternative real estate financing methods, including contracts for deed and lease/options Financing Secrets of a Millionaire Real Estate Investor also includes sample forms, letters, policies, and procedures. It is the definitive insider's guide to traditional and creative real estate financing, eliminating the need for additional books on these subjects.
Customer Reviews:
Can't say this is one of better real estate book.......2007-01-01
I have reviewed many real estate books and unfortunately this is not one of the best. The book reads almost like a dictionary in that it defines concepts more than actually how to use them. I would argue that most of the information contained in the book could be found on the web. In addition, I find it hard to justify purchasing real estate for investment using alternative financing. While I like alternative financing strategies, if a deal does not work out using conventional financing, then you have to be extra careful that you are not overleveraging or being too optimistic with your projections.
Worth the purchase but not the best book I have ever read.......2006-07-09
Pretty good book. A few new ideas that I haven't heard of before. However, still a little hard for the "common man" to accomplish most of their ideas. This book, along with the other 8 that I own, still defaults back to the basics, and that is, "It takes money to make money".
Most of these books will tell us that it is possible to make money with little liquid assets in the bank, but from my experience I have found otherwise. It seems that it takes very good credit, Beacon of 700+, and/or enough liquid assets to back your current purchase (I.e. $20,000 in the bank AFTER closing on a $150-200k property if your Beacon score is between 660-695).
I still enjoy reading these books for the ideas and how they think outside the box, thus making us do the same thing while reading their books.
I feel it is worth the purchase since he doesn't seem to repeat the same story-lines as all other books. However, this book still isn't the miracle maker and giving you a breakthrough idea that will take your business to the next level.
I am still in search of the Real-estate business book that will give me some ideas of how I can get my real-estate business to the next level. I currently own 9 units. So, if you have any ideas, please email them to me at MrNova70@yahoo.com and mark the email header as "Your Amazon review" just so I don't mark your email as spam without reading it.
Thank you for your time. Good luck with your adventure!
In Defense of "Self-Improvement Products".......2006-05-29
I have not yet read this book, yet as someone who has this one on my "must-read" list and has read a lot of business and investing "how-to" books (much to my benefit), I feel compelled to respond to the reviewer who identifies herself as "Miss Stress".
Is this author and those like him "just selling dreams"? Well, to answer that, let me point out something I've observed: The term 'dreams' is most often used by those who possess an unfortunate discord between intentions and actions. I hear quotes like "it's okay to have dreams" and "this guy's just selling dreams" most often repeated by people who don't have the intestinal fortitude to set a challenging goal and to then turn the goal into action. Action oriented people are too busy creating compelling realities to waste time with excessive dreaming.
By the same token, action oriented people need a blueprint for taking effective action. That's where books like these can pay huge dividends. Believe me, I've learned incredible amounts of information that saved me time, money and heartache by reading books and listening to tapes where authors are sharing their wisdom within a complex context.
You're right about one thing: Success doesn't come without hard work. But the author has shown me that he's inclined to working hard because he's written and is now promoting a book. Do you really think that's as easy as changing a few words that have been written already and then watching the money roll in? Have you ever written a book, gotten it published and then promoted it effectively enough to turn a profit?
Did you know that over eighty percent of infomercials lose money? I guess that means that creating and airing a successful infomercial is... let me guess... hard work? ... takes creativity?... is inherently risky?... sort of like real estate investing?
Does it look like Donald Trump doesn't work hard? I've heard the guy doesn't take vacations. It probably has something to do with the fact that he loves what he's doing. He's living his dreams. And if you try to tell me it's just because he was born with "a silver spoon in his mouth" - let me point out that his daddy never made a single change to the Manhattan skyline. That's a tough market to crack and he did it with creative financing and a whole lot of other savvy moves (similar to the one's taught in these books).
I resent the reviewers like you who refer to people that are educating themselves as "suckers". And the only thing that's "pathetic" are fearful people who read these books, don't learn anything from them, never take action, and then have the nerve to bad-mouth the books and the authors. I have some advice for you: Stop watching CNN and go make a real estate deal based on the info. you've read.
Haven't read the book yet, but to the reviewer who slammed this...........2006-04-26
All reviews from the person bashing this book seem to be solely against anything offering information on real estate investing technique while they don't seem to have actually read the book or done any such investing themselves. There's nothing wrong with a little hype (as long as there's some substance to it), and there's nothing wrong with buying a few books that offer potential to make a lot of money IF (and I do mean, IF) you're willing to take the time and energy to make things happen. I stopped listening to people who said "it couldn't be done" and have been doing things to amaze them ever since, solely because I knew that incredible stuff can happen if you actually put your mind to work for business ideas and don't expect anyone else to do the work for you. Seems that this reviewer bought into an infomercial course, thought it would guarantee riches with minimal work or thought and now has a grudge against anything that claims to help you learn how to make a lot of money in an industry (particularly real estate). Yes, I've bought a few books that were more hype than practical application, but when you sift through and take a bit of different authors' theories you can put together your own plan for success. And, to the statement that this book is just a rehasing of existing ideas, tell me where I can find this perfect book that has every valid point on property investment from the original creator of the ideas because I'd sure like to see it! Then my library of RE investing books would be one manual instead of 20, giving a lot more space for my wife to put up her knick-knacks.
All in all, I'm buying this book because I need more ideas for creative property financing for investing in single-family homes - I don't expect this to make me rich by sitting on my duff, but I do hope to learn a few things that will help me to become even more successful. If not, all I've lost is a few hours' time and the money it would cost for a decent lunch, which isn't too much to ask for even if you only learn a few things.
They are selling dreams, you are chasing them!.......2006-03-25
The pathetic thing about scams like this is that we're all searching for ways to secure our future. The thing is, William Bronchick is a smart guy who did some real estate investing... then, he decided to become SMARTER and offer his "Secrets to Success" to everyone else for a fee! How intelligent is that??? Be realistic people. There are no (legal) shortcuts to fortune other than hard work, inheritance, or winning the lottery. There is money to be made in real estate, and SOME gains may be as easy as he makes them look but the bulk of them are not. Am I rich? No, but I'm comfortable enough NOT to be willing to make someone ELSE RICH by buying products that only sell dreams. Due TRUE research people. Go to CNN.COM and look under Money. They have GREAT savings tips.. great investment tips.. Go to Fidelity.com... Don't make people like THIS Rich *RICHER* in the process. Honestly... any of us can take his book.. reword a few things.. write our own book... and sell some Dreams. Its pathetic. All these GET RICH schemes are designed to get the WRITER rich, NOT YOU! When you're up late at night watching TV and see all these bogus infomercials, turn the channel... Watch Nick @ Nite, anything but the "Dream Sellers". Invest your time and money in things that you can be proud of. Do TRUE research, don't follow behind someone who's only interested in "how much money you're willing to invest in your future" AKA "are you willing to pay for the next seminar because this initial free one is replay of the infomercial you saw on tv." It's designed to get you HYPED UP. And how do I know? Well, I've never been to one myself, but I asked my roommate to go to one on "Our" behalf... U know, just to check it out and bring back some Great Information! Well, "Yeah Right" is an understatement... No great info, just a repeat of the infomercial and a list of prices for the "Upcoming Events." And myself, what I've done, is ordered information about an at-home business that supposedly required "No Selling" (How unrealistic right?) Well the whole thing was, you create a website and let the website sell the product for you... but how likely is that? I mean, of course you gotta put some effort into it and ultimately you're doing what - SELLING. So luckily I only wasted $50, but some people waste hundreds even thousands on this type of stuff... Don't but the HYPE people. Don't buy it. Just accept that everyone in life is not going to have a mercedes and a $500,00 home... but if you really want it, work hard for it. Put in the time, the effort, and the research... there are honest ways of making a good future but you have to be patient. And again, I say, do not follow the Dream Sellers like Carlton Sheets, Russ Whitney, Peter Conti, Mr. Lucier, William Bronchick and all the others.. unless you have a strong desire to help Them get Richer while you look on in awe!
Book Description
Manufactured homes are a great solution to the problem of affordable housing—if you can get financing for them... This book reveals how to use a little-known federal program to get the best deal on the planet in financing your manufactured home if placed on a solid foundation on land (i.e. not in a "park").
Customer Reviews:
Mistitled Book.......2007-06-20
I was very disappointed in this book. The title of the book should not be so all encompassing as Manufactured Home Financing-How to get the Best Deal on the Planet. It only deals with the Rural Housing Guaranteed Program. You have to be low-income, possibly moderate-income, and it's only a rural land/home loan for 30 years. I do not want a 30-year loan, so this book was useless for me, even if I qualified. I would check out the program in your state before you invested any money in this book, because you might not qualify, and as I stated before, this is the ONLY financing option this book covers. Also, he had some very positive statements regarding manufactured housing vs. site-built in Chapter Two that just aren't true according to my research, and he has nothing to back them up but his word (things regarding appreciation and being easier to finance due to better insulation...etc.) Although, the book could be helpful to those who qualify for the Rural Housing Guaranteed Program, if you don't qualify or don't want a 30-year loan, it's of no value to you. Although it was interesting to know the Rural Housing Guaranteed Program exists, it wasn't worth my buying a whole book. It should be titled or subtitled more truthfully.
helpful and informative.......2007-01-14
This book was chock full of information on how to finance a manufactured home. We learned a lot before buying our manufactured home, however unless you are in a situation where you are in a rural area and own your own land, this book will really only serve as informational. For a land-lease situation, it wasn't as focused, mainly advising it was a bad idea -but you have to determine that yourself based on your situation and opportunities. However. the book was educational and helpful in learning the lingo and scenarios that come about dealing with banks and such.
Buy this Fantastic Book --If You Want to Buy A Home.......2006-03-06
If you think that you are going to be kept out of the housing market forever, do yourself a favor and buy this book! It is so easy to read and understand, you'll feel as though the author is sitting across from you and just explaining what's what! This information is so important! Everything he says about this government program has proved to be true. I am now shopping for my brand-new, no down payment, manufactured home!
Must have book for the manufactured home buyer.......2005-03-03
Do you want to finance a manufactured home on land you intend to purchase and save money? Get this book! I have been a real estate agent in California for a number of years and had never heard of the Rural Housing Guaranteed Loan Program for financing manufactured housing. This book has been a real eye opener to me. The writing is lively and logical. Don't delay ordering this book-you'll be glad you did.
A straightforward guide to getting the best possible deal .......2004-12-13
Loan officer Tony Evans puts his years of experience to the printed page in Manufactured Home Financing, a straightforward guide to getting the best possible deal in financing one's manufactured home. Individual chapters address the advantages of manufactured housing, how to interact with dealers and salespeople, the ins and outs of financing loans, what to do after the loan closes, important forms and documents to be aware of, and much more. An excellent resource offering insight into a little-known, government-sponsored program meant to help middle-income people achieve the dream of owning a nice home.

Customer Reviews:
A good read.. but not satisfactory.......2007-10-21
Book is written from multiple angles, and what i really didn't like is first couple of chapters are just for "Loan officer" about how to write presentation etc..etc.
I was expecting more details and Tips on how to finance real estate developments.
Simple yet so complex..........2007-08-28
After completing this book, I not only felt as though I had a deeper understanding of the real estate finance process but I had a strong desire to meet the author in person. The author easily depicts realistic real estate finance situations from which anyone can learn. His tone is gentle. The sentences are clear and easy to read. This book is a home run!
exactly what i was looking for!.......2007-08-20
As a student of real estate development classes, I was struggling with my teacher and the required textbook. Stumbling on this book was like hitting the lottery; it is easy to use, carefully laid out and incredibly detailed. It has helped me immeasurably as both an instructional manual and as a reference.
Informative Read and Useful Reference.......2007-08-17
The book touches all bases with respect to construction finance. Working in the industry, I not only found the book informative but also a great reference.
No table of contents.......2007-08-14
I probably would have purchased this book if the table of contents was viewable. The title of the book indicated that it was just what I was looking for, but I could not view the contents or index and therefore did not purchase.
