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.
Product Description
This new book will provide you with a road map to securing the financing.

It details the differences between debt and equity financing and how and why to use each. Valuation techniques are explained for determining what your business is truly worth. However, the book's real strength is in explaining alternative and creative methods of financing, such as SBA financing, investor angels, IPOs, limited public offerings and venture capital. Essential resources for finding the detailed information you need are included throughout.

This books is comprehensive, smart and powerful. I'd highly recommend it to anyone else. I'd also recommend a commercial video to help you apply for commercial credit on-line. These two tools together can help you get credit in less than 90 days.

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:
So So for Beginners -- Terrible if you have read other books.......2001-03-10
This book is good if you are looking for a somewhat decent introduction to terminology and processes. However, I think you will find other books a far better investment in your time. I would say this is a high school level course in VC.
I question some of the motives of the author through the book. At one point he says that the best way to meet a VC is to have an introduction by a broker. In my experience taking three companies through VC, I have found this is the absolute worse way of dealing with them. All of my friends who are partners at Chicago based VC firms say they would rather the entrepreneur come directly to them. You can tell the author is an attorney, because his advice is to use an attorney to find Venture Capital. Also, the author touts the fact he is a lecturer at Wharton. Lecturer and Professor are worlds apart. It isn't that hard to get an invitation to speak at a business school, so I don't put much weight on his using this as a claim to fame.
This book is good for terminology, but not good for advice. My recommendation is that you do not follow the guidelines here, only use the book as an introduction to terminology.
If you want a real book on advice, listen to someone that has taken a company through the process. Get Rob Ryan's book "Entrepreneur America". You will find it is a much better investment of time and money.
Good for beginner.......1999-06-10
You will find the quite difficult to follow, but it is interesting to read and you will find new information on each page if VC is stranger to you.
Start Elsewhere.......1999-04-28
This seems to be a bunch of lecture notes for a Venture Capital course masquerading as a book. Like lecture notes, the material presented is spotty and uneven, but interspersed with enough factoids to keep the reader interested. As a text, it would have benefited from an outline and a good editor. About 45% of its 368 pages are appendices (course handouts) of sample contracts. If this is your first venture into venture capital, find the course text or read something like Linda Chandler's Winning Strategies for Capital Formation. Then read this to add some depth.
Book Description
Owning a business has become almost as much a part of the American dream as owning a home, and it’s not uncommon for people to trade a safe, routine job for the uncertainty of being one’s own boss. It not only takes hard work, persistence, and sacrifice – it takes business capital.
In What No One Ever Tells You About Financing Your Business, Jan Norman not only explores multiple means for owners and entrepreneurs to acquire business capital, but also covers the ""universal tool"" - writing the business plan. Norman includes insights from 101 successful entrepreneurs on obtaining financing, sharing with readers their experiences, techniques, and advice gained in the trenches.
From these recaps, both owners and entrepreneurs will learn:
• Borrowing options and alternatives beyond using savings or help from family and friends
• Creative ways to keep the business capital flow on-going past start-up stages and the need to use the right financial tools for monitoring
• How to build effective business relationships, vital in obtaining capital because ""people do business with people they know and trust""
• Practices that even the most successful business owners use ""to stay ahead of the money search""
Customer Reviews:
This book provides real-life examples of how startups get started and find the money needed to get started........2007-07-18
This was a wonderful book. It covers the basics as far as the options one has when planning to start a small business. Do you draw from your savings? Do you tap on family and friends? Do you mortgage your home? Or do you visit a bank and beg for some money?
The simple truth of the matter is that there are no free lunches in this world. Starting a business is very similar to buying a car or a house. You can pay for it with cash savings. Or you can put up collateral and borrow the money you need to pay for it. SBA doesn't make bank loans - they guarantee some of them. So don't think the SBA is going to do much for you when it comes time to start your small business.
This book covers financing the startup and financing the proven venture. And it does it very well. I loved the part about how business plans will explain how much capital (money) your business needs AND CAN REPAY. This is why banks and other lenders or investors will want to see the business plan you put together for your business venture.
I also thought it was good that the author pointed out that lenders and investors rely somewhat heavily on your leadership ability when determining if your company is likely to succeed. Said another way, they will rate you as a leader when evaluating whether your business plan is good. Good plans get money. Poor ones don't.
Take a look at the Table of Contents for this book. You'll see that the book covers all the bases when it comes to financing your own business. Well done. 5 stars!
Decent Advice, But Perhaps Not the Advice You Need.......2006-08-03
The author deserves credit for interviewing all these entrepreneurs and conveying their stories and lessons learned in a clear style. Nonetheless, I found little of value here. I'm not sure exactly why. In part it's because I had heard most of it before. But in a more fundamental way the notion of relying on the advice of successful practitioners carries with it a positive bias that proves less than helpful to struggling entrepreneurs. Her former venture capitalist who founds a financial services company, for instance, has a huge advantage in financial expertise and contacts over most of us. So it's not surprising that his new venture succeeds in raising money.
What many entrepreneurs need, in contrast, is advice on how to overcome their very difficult circumstances, including personal shortcomings and destitution. So actually lessons learned from accounts of semi-competent entrepreneurs' failures to obtain financing could prove more realistic and valuable. Most of us are semi-competent at best! And of course entrepreneurs starting up innovative tech product ventures face an altogether more challenging and even forbidding set of obstacles to raising money than those launching a new flower shop or bookkeeping service. The simpler a challenge your business represents, the more helpful this book manages to be.
Excellent, and 101 means 101.......2005-09-30
I can attest to the fact that author Jan Norman interviewed each of 101 different individuals quoted in this book in the course of researching and writing it.
Indeed, she talked to many more than that, just as she had for her other books in the series: "What No One Ever Tells You About Starting Your Own Business," "What No One Ever Tells You About Marketing Your Own Business" and the next one in the series which will be out in early 2006, "What No One Ever Tells You About Franchising."
The interviews were detailed, often grueling work and always time-consuming, but invaluable for readers. Each of the 101 persons interviewed for each of Jan's books has a unique story to tell, and her books have shared those stories with countless others.
This series of books published by Upstart, a division of Dearborn Publishing, finds its greatest value in the very diversity of the experiences represented by the 101 individuals in each book. For the reader, it is an opportunity not to read some self-anointed "expert" author's solitary opinion, but instead read the real-life experiences of 101 people who have been there and done that.
Each book is a compilation of 101 mistakes and/or successes that others learned from, and that readers can learn from vicariously, then apply to their own entrepreneurial efforts.
Ms. Norman Knows What She is Talking About.......2005-09-04
I don't know if the author really talked to 101 successful entrepreneurs or not. I suspect not. Instead, this book might better be sub-titled 101 tips on financing a business.
There are people who simply have to run their own business. It's a lot easier to work for someone else, just show up on time, work reasonably hard, go home a little bit later than most prople and so on. Some of us have a very hard time doing that.
I've started several businesses over the years. Each one has been more successful than the one before. Experience has taught me several things. And I'm going to use that experience to comment on some of her 101 tips.
Tip #1 - Do a business plan. There are several software programs that are almost fill in the blank. Get one and fill in the blanks. Even if you never show this plan to anyone else, it will force you to think through your whole business.
Tip #7 - Start on a Shoestring. It is much easier to get money to expand a business than it is to get money to start from scratch.
Re a bunch of Tips on borrowing money - Don't. It has to be paid back. Unless you are very, very certain that you can pay it back in a very short time - DON'T!
Tip 46-48 - Yes, yes, a hundred times YES!. Live cheaply. Don't buy the big car, big house, whatever.
Tips 77-80 - Government Programs. Forget them, they aren't worth the time they take.
Tips on venture capital and going public. This is a basic business decision. Do you want to run a small business or create a public company that you can get out of?
This lady understands what she is writing about. But keep in mind that you are talking about your business, your ideas, your future. Read a book on business.
Get a business started.
Read a book on business.
If it works great. If it doesn't, get a job for a while, start another one in your part time using what you learned from the failure of the first one.

Customer Reviews:
Mostly fluff.......2006-04-04
I've been reading a lot of business books to get information on how to grow my business. Of all those books, this one is mostly fluff. Many of the statements are vague and ambigious. There isn't much for solid advice. Buzzwords are used everywhere (Do you want a "value-added investor" funding your business?) Numbers and statistics are nonexistant other than a few graphs that look like they were sketched by hand. The author tends to throw lots of questions at you to think about, but doesn't give any advice on the topics.
There were a few bits of useful information on how other people will look at your business and value it, but it's not worth reading through the whole book for them. They could have been summarized in a bulleted list on a few sheets of paper.
If you're looking for a good book on how to obtain venture capital, check out Venture Capital Handbook, by David Gladstone.
Good Book for Entrepreneurs!.......2005-08-20

FINANCING YOUR NEW or GROWING BUSINESS - How To Raise Capital for Your Venture
Most entrepreneurs think their venture is going to make them rich. But the reality of entrepreneurship, including the often difficult tasks involved in accessing capital, often dampens their dreams.
In our new book, Financing Your New or Growing Business: How to
Find and Raise Capital for Your Venture, we explore myriad ways for entrepreneurs to find and capture the green, from borrowing from or selling stock to friends and family to creative use of credit cards, factoring accounts receivable, and use of federal and state loans, grants, and tax incentives. We also thought it was important for business people and entrepreneurs to know some basics of negotiating deals and some of the scams as well.
This book is about venture funding in the real world, the world
beyond the snazzy offices of Sand Hill Road, the world where mom and dad and the guy who sells supplies on credit are the venture capitalists, the world most entrepreneurs really inhabit.
"For anyone trying to start or grow a business, this book cuts
through the complexities of new venture financing and delivers pragmatic, useful advice." Rudolph P. Lamone, Professor and Chairman, Board of Advisors, Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship, University of Maryland.
After the "dot bomb", the financial world for start-up and young businesses is different than the one entrepreneurs and business people have become accustomed to. Finding and getting the capital that businesses need is different as well. This book discusses 19 sources and provides a beghind-the scenes understanding of each, and tells the reader how to navigate through these financing approaches.
Book Description
This new addition to the Business Library series describes advantageous methods for attracting venture capital, dealing with bank loan investment officers, initiating public offerings of stock shares, and much more. Titles in the Business Library series speak to men and women who are starting a company or managing an ongoing small-to-medium-size business.

Great read for any real estate investor!.......2007-09-12
In these rocky times for real estate investors it's getting harder to sell houses. This is an excellent book that explains how the seller financing procedure works. It is the most complete book on the subject that I have ever read. If you are a real estate investor and you rehab houses or lease option, this is a must read.
A Great Primer.......2007-09-11
Don't bother taking Russ Dalbey's course. Read this book,call Eddy to create the note he'll buy then go fishing.
Streetwise Seller Financing.......2004-07-08
I've done private financing using seller notes for over 20 years. In this field, knowledge and integrity are of extreme importance. This book provides all the knowledge that any note seller will ever need, and more. We've always known this method of funding can quadruple the inquiries and double the qualified buyers, now the average seller knows how everything works. That's a hundred times better than being at the mercy of the institutional mortgage system as it now exists.
Streetwise Seller Financing.......2003-12-18
If you are interested in seller financing, this is the book you must have. As a practicing attorney for 30+ years, specializing in real estate, I thought I knew it all but I even learned some things from Mr. Speed's book. He speaks to the issues facing seller financing in a way that is easy to understand and follow with real world solutions. This is a tough area with many dangerous curves but Streetwise Seller Financing addresses each issue providing valuable tips to assist the seller. I found the book to be of more help then many of the legal books due to the fact that Mr. Speed does not give you theory but just important facts on the correct way. I have dealt with many lenders in my years of law practice that could have used this book.
Every seller financer and note holder should read this!.......2003-11-15
Eddie Speed quotes the seasoned Texas banker who said, "The best time to worry about a loan is before you make it." Then he details how to do so. As a note broker, I can recommend this book to anyone considering seller financing. Whether you plan to collect payments for 30 years or you want to sell your note at some time in the future, this book will help you create a note that is more likely to be an asset you can sell instead of a life time headache. This book is a guide for the creation of the note and a reference for managing it. It even has helpful ideas for what to do when things go wrong during the life of the note. This book proves that good things come in small packages. Every note holder should keep it handy. I plan to.
