A Thorough Reference.......2003-03-24
This book is written like a textbook - starting with the most basic concepts - but moves on to discuss the tools and techniques of market analysis in considerable detail. Separate sections deal with residential, office and industrial, retail, hotels and resorts, and mixed-use developments. Case studies are given for each type of property. Technologies and data sources to assist analysis are discussed.
The two primary authors are a real estate consultant and an author/director of the Urban Land Institute. Many other professionals are listed as having contributed to the case studies.
The book includes an appendix of data sources of use to market analysts, a glossary of real estate terms and a thorough index.

Excellent for Urban Planning!.......2007-01-10
I was put on to this book by a professor at USF School of Architecture. It contains not only the history of placemaking but real examples of placemaking and tools in how to achieve the notion of "place." Not only is this a great resource, but it is easy to read and follow along.
Highly reccomended!
Power and ample information and graphics.......2006-08-24
I found this book to be one of the best out on the topic, of which there are too few at present for such an important topic. The depth and breadth of place-making topics and their coverage makes this a very excellent easy-to-read-and-understand as well as a long-term reference tool. The graphics are very well done. Having recently attended a Harvard program on retail for cities and new towns and urban center given by Bob Gibbs and Terry Shook, I especially found the book right on target. I want to see more of these types of books.

Download Description
How to do it like Trump¿from start to finish
This is the first real estate investing book to reveal the principles and strategies of the world¿s most famous real estate developer¿Donald Trump. Author George Ross is Trump¿s celebrity costar on the hit TV show, The Apprentice, and has been Trump¿s right-hand man and business advisor for 25 years. Ross has advised Trump on all of his most famous real estate deals including Trump Tower on 5th Avenue and the Grand Hyatt on 42nd Street. In this book, Ross explains the core real estate investing and negotiation strategies Trump used to make his fortune, and how any investor can apply these strategies to their own real estate investments.
Small investors may not buy land on 5th Avenue, but the same principles Trump used to negotiate the purchase of his Trump Tower site apply to any real estate investor who wants to use Trump-style negotiation principles to buy property for below-market value. The small investor buying a fixer-upper may not have Trump¿s budget for marble and gold-tinted windows, but this book explains how to add "Trump-style glamour" to any fixer-upper¿and charge tenants and buyers a hefty premium they will willingly pay. Other key "Trump Strategies for Real Estate" include:
- Think huge; change the way your property is used and valued for maximum ROI
- Use showmanship to get higher rents and sale prices for your properties
- Be willing to overpay for a prime location, if it will get you prime tenants.
- There is no "right price" for the wrong property
- Personal relationships and loyalty are the foundation of a long-term investing career
From the search for the right property to "cashing out" of a property, this book has it all.

a good book for investors .......2007-09-29
its a good book for anyone to read and its been a big help to me.
i suggest you read it if you intrested in investment.
Great!!.......2007-08-31
This book is very informative about how to change your thinking as well as your practices when it comes to real estate. Very great book for a begginner investor.
George is great!.......2007-05-12
This book is great for somebody looking to find the 'big picture' in real estate, with some very helpful thoughts to guide decisions. Working in real estate, I have already used much of the advice in this book with my real estate clients with great success. Though not all thoughts apply to my area, the book as a whole was a great read.
Very good book.......2006-12-26
I've been in real estate for 12 years and this is one of the few books worth buying and keeping in your library. Many of the things I already knew, but it's good to have this as a source of reference. I like the info on negotiation and research (the party that spends the most time/energy on project tends to want to complete the transaction). Trump believes in hiring the best experts available and "value added," which is another way saying adding glitz to his properties. The author is also right on when he states that most people take the path of least resistance. I agreed with 90% of what the author wrote about.
Good reading.......2006-09-06
You know, if you want to be the best, you need to learn from the best. George & Donald are the pinnacles of success in the real estate business. George Ross presents how things work with him & Donald in the business world, from his perspective. I highly recommend it. I have far more respect for George now after reading this book.

The cases are grouped by major topics: financial analysis and forecasting, cost of capital, working capital management, capital budgeting, dividend policy, debt policy, financial execution, and mergers and restructuring.

usefull advice, one man's success story.......2007-10-19
Turner's tale of his search for rural land is a fun read. anyone looking at this page and reading this review obviously has a little dream of buying a piece of land - and this book is not only full of good advice for your own search, but it's inspiring. Turner used tactics that I certainly wouldn't have though of. The books is not written like a how-to book, in fact it almost resembles a journal more than anything. But sometimes a little down to earth anecdote is nice to read before bed. It's a very fast and pleasant 230 pages that will likely leave you optimistic about your chances of finding a piece of rural land. Good luck!
A great guide by example.......2007-09-09
For those that are looking for an A-B-C, follow the list type guide to finding cheap land, keep on looking. Though there is a list of the steps used, it takes only a couple of pages near the end. If you are too lazy to read the rest, and instead skip to the list, you will miss out on a lot of good advice.
Now for the rest of you that are smart enough to enjoy Mr. Turner's tale of how he found it, and glean the tidbits of information bestowed throughout the tale, you will walk away with invaluable information that will let you find the land that you want at a price you can afford.
Well written and easily read.......2007-04-30
This book is an excellent and quick read- I finished it in one day. Although not directly suited to my purpose, the book contains great advice on finding a small acreage (4-12) property in the country.
Most of all the book made me feel even better about our opportunities- as the writer repeatedly commented on how much easier his search would have been if he was looking to buy 40 or more acres of land. Wouldn't you know it, that is what we are looking to do.
The author has a flowing and folksy writing style, that doesn't get bogged down with too much technical real estate jargon- and footnotes are provided in the rare instances where technical terms occur. This book is in many ways much more than a book about how to buy property cheap, it is the author's life story- his dreams and aspirations for a place in the country since his boyhood.
I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to purchase land in the country.
Low density but valuable information.......2007-02-26
The information in this book is worth the price you pay for it. I had fumbled around looking for land and only found a couple of the many tips he offers for finding and buying land. The author presents the information as his experience finding and buying a piece of land to be used as a get away and week end home. He explains why small parcels of land are more expensive per acre compared to large parcels of land.
His tips on buying land are summarized in a two page appendix. I think the one thing he left out of his summary was "get lucky and stumble across someone who will sell you land for cheap". If this was a "how to" book, it would be a pamphlet.
While not an exciting story, it is engaging. I found that I lost track of time while reading it. I have no need to be as thrifty as the author, however.
READ ME! A good argument for land.......2006-11-15
This book and another book made me re-think about land. In the past, people considered it as dangerous, but sometimes investing in land isn't such a bad thing, especially if you want to keep it for long term or for your children.
I would also suggest buying this book on how to purchase land below market value:
