Description: Commercial real estate markets revolve in predictable cycles: Sunny forecasts stimulate overbuilding, after which vacancy rates soar, prices plummet and development dries up. Then vacancies are absorbed, prices recover and optimistic prognostications begin again. With these cycles, come investment opportunities, and for inexperienced real estate investors, it can be a treacherous path. What is a limited partnership? Is this a high risk investment? Who are the people I'm getting involved with? These are the most typical questions -- and sometimes the hardest to answer. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Real Estate Investing provides a comprehensive guide to the ins and outs of investing in real estate. Whether you're starting your own small business of buying and renovating homes or you're a partner in a commercial real estate development, this book will give practical, straight answers to the questions you need to ask. How do development deals work? How can I research the property I'm buying? How can I predict the next big commercial space? What about buying and selling land? These questions and more -- including how to check the background of a potential partner -- will help you know the business before getting taken!
