It is a must read for anyone interested in real estate investing."

Jim's focus on the building blocks, the creativity and the strategy of deal making gives its readers a front row seat into this high stakes, and richly rewarding game. I have completed many transactions with Jim and have found his excerpts to be a true and readable accounting of just some of his dealings. For all the real estate professionals who work for me, this is a must read."
Jim Fagan, Managing Director, Cushman & Wakefield.
