    5 out of 5 stars Linneman Real Estate Finance Textbook--Thumbs Up!.......2007-05-28

    As a University of Chicago economics PhD and Professor of Real Estate Finance at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, one of the few business schools that teaches the real estate business in a thoroughgoing way, Peter Linneman is the top real estate finance academic in the country. I recently heard him speak at a conference on real estate mergers in NYC, and he was one of the best professional speakers of any kind that I have ever heard in 20 years of real estate law practice. His splendid textbook, Real Estate Finance & Investments, reads almost exactly like he speaks. It's like a superb, clear, and witty set of lectures, all encapsulated in a textbook. Linneman is not only a topflight academic, but has substantial direct involvement in the real estate business. This very much shows in the book, which takes the most abstract scholarly knowledge and makes it easy to understand through examples of crystalline clarity. It is a godsend to those who work in the real estate sector that someone as smart as Linneman would take the time to write this awesome textbook, which not only must be the best textbook on real estate finance, but is one of the best textbooks of any kind I have ever read.

    There are only opportunitities, and no risks in buying and reading this super textbook.

      5 out of 5 stars A great reference.......2005-08-02

      I purchased this book along with "How to Succeed in Commercial Real Estate" by John Bowman, based on reviews of other reviewers on Amazon.com. It was great advice and I want to contribute in the same way. These two books have already helped me in my career and given me added confidence.

      This book is one that will be helpful in dissecting some of the tedious, even boring language of leases. If you're in commercial real estate, it's hard to ignore because that's where half the work is. It breaks down topics into digestable chunks.

      Clients will expect you to know this stuff and lead them through a maze of commercial issues. The key is not to be an expert in everything but to have familiarity with the topics that invariably come up. When it's over your head, you need to defer to your team of trusted advisors, be it legal, accounting or engineering resources for instance. However, when it's suppose to be in your head and it's not, you can refer to this lease book time and time again and prepare yourself with the knowledge you need.

      I recommend this highly to people starting out in commercial real estate. Much success to you!

      3 out of 5 stars For leasing commercial buildings.......2001-05-15

      This seems to be a step by step guide, in some detail, on the leasing of commercial property. It is not a guide for leasing other items like equipment or vehicles.

      4 out of 5 stars Solid Overview for Understanding Commercial Leasing.......1999-12-29

      As a partner in a major commercial brokerage this book has become part of the mandatory reading for new entry level brokers. After reading the book, it was clear that not understanding all of the parts of a commercial lease brings no value to our clients. I recommend it to anyone that is involved in commercial leaseing.

      Book Description

      A favorite among law students and professors alike, the Examples & Explanations series is ideal for studying, reviewing and testing your understanding through application of hypothetical examples. Authored by leading professors with extensive classroom experience, Examples & Explanations titles offer hypothetical questions in the subject area, complemented by detailed explanations that allow you to test your knowledge of the topic, and compare your own analysis.

      Customer Reviews:

      5 out of 5 stars thankgoodness!.......2007-05-06

      Looking up the statutes was helpful & it is important to read through the explanations of all the answers to understand a particular statute or statutes. I found the analysis in the hypotheticals very helpful since his answers are exactly how our professor wanted them to be - "open ended". And yes, I did well!

      2 out of 5 stars Below Standard.......2007-03-03

      I love the Examples and Explanations series. The book on Civ Pro was perfect. The Contracts book was very good. This book disappoints because it doesn't provide explanations.
      This edition refers students in almost every paragraph to look up a portion of the UCC or refer to a statute or case. Instead of explaining Sales and Leases, this editions tells us on every page to look at a provision of the UCC and discover the truth for ourselves. It might be fine as a supplement to online law school, but given the huge amounts of text law students have to read, it is almost useless as a concise explanation of the subject.

      4 out of 5 stars Helpful Supplement.......2007-01-22

      This book saved me in my Sales class and helped me grasp the UCC. I had no idea what was going on until I cracked this book the weekend before the midterm. I took this class as a first semester 1L with most students as 3L's who had taken Commercial Paper. I got the second highest grade in the class! Most of the analysis is based on unamended Art. 2, so if your professor teaches on Revised Art. 2, then you'll need another supplement.

      2 out of 5 stars Not Great.......2006-12-09

      This is a really poor E and E. I find most of E and Es really helpful, but I'm no better off owning this one than I was without it. The brief explanations of the topics at the beginning of each chapter do not suffice. Furthermore the questions are fairly straightforward and extremely leading, but this can be a problem with most E and E's. If you are buying this just to get the hypos then by all means go right ahead, but do not think that you are going to learn sales from reading this book. You'd be better served spending your time on your Course Outline.

      2 out of 5 stars Not very useful.......2006-09-18

      I'm not interested in reading this book from cover to cover, but there isn't any other way to get information out of it.
      1 - The table of contents doesn't list the chapter subsections, making it hard to figure out what chapter contains the information I want.
      2 - No table of cases! Every law reference book should have one - there's no excuse for it being missing.
      3 - Pathetic index - only 2 pages long. I almost never found what I was looking for.

      If you are interested in reading the entire book front to back, it might be useful. If you want to read a bit at a time to supplement your casebook as you go through the semester, you will be frustrated.

This can't help you if you have not understood the or read any of the cases. The man's voice on this is choppy, defintely not as smooth as some of the other speakers.

                3 out of 5 stars Solid.......2004-03-19

                This is an interesting book for someone who is just starting on a personal improvement plan. The best part about it is that Gegax's approach is holistic - he really has a strong understanding of the connection between the mind, body and spirit. The writing style is smooth and the book is easy to read. The concepts all make sense and he gives a clear plan for readers to follow in applying his steps. The parts I found most useful were the first two sections, on personal mission statements and action planning. After that, I found the book was at turns too simplistic and too far out there for me.

                The caution I would give people in reading this book is two-fold. First, Gegax writes in a very autobiographical style. I learned more about him and his personal trials and tribulations than I wanted to; I'm the type of reader who prefers more theory and fewer examples. Secondly, as someone who has already read Stephen Covey and a host of other self-help/health authors, I found that alot of what Gegax had to say was old news to me.

                This isn't a bad self help book to have. Some people will really value having a book that encompasses physical, emotional and mental health, and the connection between them, in one volume. If you don't mind the oversimplifications that can result in trying to bring such a range of material together, and you're interested in these sorts of issues, you may find the book of value.

                I heard Tom speak at a business conference in Santa Fe recently and found his ideas very compelling. The book focuses on how to put those ideas into action, and I view it to be an excellent guide for organizing how I think about work, family, friends, emotional & spritual health, etc. As a 48 year old CEO, I have discovered you can help an pld dog pick a new path.

                4 out of 5 stars A worthwhile read on the Mission Statement alone.......2001-09-27

                I thought the core of the book for me was in the first 2 chapters, where the author expressed the importance of a personal mission statement, writing about his own example as well. After that, I found the book a bit repetitious.

                Nevertheless, the mission statement section was a worthwhile read alone, if only to stress the importance of having one for your own personal life. Just like many corporations are starting to have a mission statement, individuals should have a life mission statement. Once this mission statement is determined and articulated, your actions and choices in life can be measured against it. Part of your journey though is to think about and determine your mission statement, a journey/process of self-determination which only you can undergo.

                5 out of 5 stars Simply the BEST! Ari-Life-Coach@usa.net.......2000-06-22

                Make a six figure income, experience your spiritual partner& make happiness and joy apart of your life. That is what this book did for me in a matter of months. Of course you must have a work ethic--but, all is possible. If you want to have empowering and healthy relationships all the time-read my book' The Relationship Kit...Stop Wasting Time...and Never Look Back'! Make this your best day.

                1 out of 5 stars A Waste of Time.......1999-11-20

                This book could easily be cut in half. It rambles in so many areas -- going into mind-numbing detail about unimportant subjects. Don't waste your time

                Over the course of the past few months I have had many friends in need of some comfort cooking--because of new babies, illnesses, work stresses, and other major life changes. Instead of a card, what these people need the most is some good food that they don't have to cook for themselves. This cookbook has updated classics, like polenta lasagne or stuffed peppers a la Michael Chiarello, old stand bys like chicken noodle soup and oatmeal cookies, even a section with herbal tonics and smoothies.

                The ingredients are easy to find and the recipes are easy to follow. I especially like the To Make Ahead instructions for each recipe. There's no guessing if a dish freezes well, or how to cook/assemble it for later. I write out these instructions for whomever gets the dish. Everyone loves gifts of pre-made, homemade meals.
