Book Description
Seven out of every 10 millionaires have made their money in real estate investment.

Yet, investing in apartment buildings can be a daunting proposition for many would-be and seasoned investors. Gregory D.

He has built his profitable real estate portfolio from the ground-up using his own proprietary strategies for investing in apartment buildings. In his book, Make More Money-Investing in Multi-Units, Warr outlines the process for acquiring apartment buildings and managing a successful business investing in commercial real estate.
Drawing from his success, you will learn to:
• Identify the best markets to locate properties with the greatest potential for success
• The process that determines what properties yield the greatest returns •Acquire buildings with little or no personal capital
• The three best structures to negotiate an offer
• The 1 team member that will make or break your investing career and how to find him or her
• How to help others and communities by giving back

Yuriy Z.......2007-05-25
This is a great book for an investor who is new to real estate or for a real estate investor with some experience like me who is serious about real estate and understands that to be very successful, learning from seasoned, very successful investors like Gregory Warr can give you a huge advantage and help enormously in achieving the goal. For those of us without rich dads, being able to learn about "tricks of trade" straight from the source is invaluable.
I read the book from cover to cover on the day when I bought it. The book is easy to read and full of valuable and practical recommendations such as: invest in low- to middle-income housing as more people are looking for low- to middle income housing than those who are looking for high-income housing. Mr. Warr shares some insightful ideas about financing of properties, structuring the offer and negotiating, and managing multiunits. The book bursts with energy, which is very contagious.
It clearly shows that it is possible to create wealth and stability investing in multinunits and guides you how this can be done. The best part is that Mr. Warr shares a lot of his personal experience, so his examples and recommendations are very convincing.
After reading this book, I felt like a new door is now open for me. I am looking forward to closing on my first multiunit.
So Easy, My 11 Year Old Understands It!.......2007-05-02
When I start in a new area of business, I am always afraid that I will pick up a book that is way over my head. This book really IS an easy to understand,"Step-by-Step Guide"! The glossary in the back of this book is worth as much as the rest of the book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in Multiunits. Also, if you get the chance to sit under Greg's teaching in person...DO IT!
Great information easy to follow.......2007-02-27
I have read and followed the steps in Greg's book and have purchased my first multi-unit property.
The book is written in a simple format and easy to follow the steps to purchase multi-units.
Read and take all the pointers and buy units --it is the way to financial freedom.
Light reading .......2007-02-26
I've read a bunch of real estate books since I bought my first apartment building in 1975. This is a light weight book for beginners with no real examples of actual deals made by the author. That may be fine for single family houses that any amateur can buy and manage in his spare time. When it comes to buying a 25+ unit apartment building for a million dollars or more, you better know a lot more than anything in this book. The book makes references to a web sight that seems to be abandoned, making mention of upcoming events that were six months ago.
Most Amazing Book on How to do apartment buildings!!!.......2007-02-03
This is the most amazing book on teaching how to do apartment buildings. God Bless Greg Warr for sharing his insight and thoughts in an enjoyable fashion. Must read for anyone who does anything with Apartment buildings, no matter what level you are in.

My Thoughts.......2006-08-24
Simple was this book, some good advice. I got some good ideas and look foward to acting on the advice given by the interviews. I see theres a future in this business after thirty-five. Thanks.
Written by two non-appraisers.......2006-04-22
Upon seeing this item listed for sale, I became curious as to the background of the authors. As it turn out neither one of them is a licensed real estate appraiser. There has been a lot of hype around the appraisal profession lately with Money listing it as one of the top careers. While I appreciate the attention my profession is receiving, many of these books and articles give people an irresponsible expectation of what it is like getting into the industry. I question how useful a book on how to become a real estate appraiser, written by two people who have never undertaken that career choice, will be. Buy and use with caution.

A Requirement for Future Appraisers, Yes, BUT.............2006-03-02
If you are planning on taking your local state appraiser's exam, you no doubt will be required to purchase this text. It is, for better or worse, a "standard" in the industry. Unfortunately, as a professional educator with 17 years college teaching experience, I can honestly say that this book is incredibly verbose, repetitive, and badly organized. This 600+ page tome could EASILY be reduced by 50% (or more) without losing ANY necessary/vital information. If you have ever had to read a book on managment or education, then you KNOW what I am saying here. For published works on real estate appraisal that are concise, to-the-point, and not mind-numbingly boring, look elsewhere........

So much information, so little time.......2000-07-18
This book is jam packed with detailed analysis and synthesis of almost every facet of the office development process. The editor has assembled a package of 32 excellent contributions from experienced writers with backgrounds ranging from property appraisal, architecture, contracting, loan underwriting, and much more than can be listed here. When I first saw this book in the library I had to go out and get my own copy for continued reference purposes throughout my career.
A comprehensive look at the modern office building........1999-07-20
Probably the only book of its kind. Required reading for anyone new to the real estate industry and probably worthwhile even for those who have been in it for a few years, this book provides a comprehensive look at the modern office building from both conceptual and pragmatic standpoints.
Book Description
This book for advanced students and professionals in management and finance explains the financial appraisal of capital budgeting projects. It develops basic concepts, principles and techniques and applies them to case studies in forestry, property and international investments. Resource constraints are introduced to the capital budgeting decisions with a variety of worked examples using linear programming techniques. All calculations are extensively supported by Excel workbooks on the Web, and end of chapter questions.
Customer Reviews:
Real options note covered.......2005-07-17
This book does not cover the frontier of investment analysis, ie real options (option analysis). In my view, this book remains a DCF study, hence would be suitable only as an introductory text.

Book Description
This book is an independent scholarly analysis of the economics of the grain futures contracts of the Chicago Board of Trade (CBT), special attention being paid to the recent performance and future prospects of a crucial aspect of grain futures contracts - the delivery process. Delivery links futures and spots markets, and is essential to the efficient performance of a grain futures contract. Both hedging effectiveness and the `informativeness' of futures prices depend upon this linkage.

A superb book about development.......2002-08-23
I found this book to be very informative and an easy read. It has a good balance of theory and practical advice. It goes hand in hand with the same author's Career Compass book. I would recommend this book for human resources or organizational development people looking for a new perspective.
Only Half of the Solution.......2000-02-11
Development Cultures are great ideas that need more fully encompassing approaches. The Author appropriately suggests that the emphasis in our workplaces should be adding value and thus creating opportunities for continued careers. She also appropriately suggests that skills are a necessary element for adding value. Missing is the acknowledgement that performance requires both skills and attitudes-both the ability and the inclination to perform quality work.
Conspicuously absent are any emphasis or ideas for motivating and satisfying the people that are being asked to change. Developing additional skills takes time, energy and motivation. As all change leaders understand, those being changed invariably ask, "What's in it for me?" Until this question is adequately answered, the potential for Development Cultures appears bleak. While some might boldly suggest, "Having a job is what's in it for them," others might aptly rebut "With more skills, those employees will be more attractive and tempted away by other employers."
The bases for high performance work cultures are apparent in the Author's obviously thorough research. Her enumeration of Schein's "Basic Career Anchors", Gottlieb's "Transformational Leadership", and Bechhard's "Organizational Transitions" are excellent starting points. These considerations are sorely absent from integration into the Author's Development Culture model (p. 93)-a model that focuses predominately on tasks and systems while ignoring the human elements of meaning, motivation, discretionary contribution.
Development Cultures are needed in today's workplaces. To be successful, these cultures must complement and balance developing worker skills with developing meaning for the workforce. Until we practitioners commit to implementing more fully encompassing solutions, we will continue achieving inadequate results.
Practical, systemic approach to organization change.......1998-11-24
I thought the book was incredibly practical and realistic in its approach to utilizing career development as a lever for organization effectiveness. Simonsen uses a wide variety of industry examples to demonstrate how the strategy she is advocating-which is your tried and true OD approach-can work in today's organizations. This is a book that managers and consultants can utilize together as they tie together business strategy and people planning. I keep buying copies of this book and giving them away to HR colleagues and line managers.
