Read what the publisher says about the book:

Are you the Next Donald Trump? Successful real estate developers can
become enormously wealthy. However, the flip side is many developers run
out of cash before cashing in. Poor cash flow is the primary cause of business
failure for real estate developers. This new book details how to become a
successful real estate developer and demonstrates step-by-step how to set
up, operate, and manage a financially successful real estate development
enterprise. The author has explored every avenue in explaining this
potentially rewarding—yet risky—business.

The book covers the entire process of establishing a small real estate
development firm and the ongoing management necessary in an easy-to-
understand way, pointing out methods to increase your chances of success,
and showing how to avoid the many common mistakes that can doom a
start-up.

The book focuses on small developments that you can start by yourself
featuring both residential and commercial applications. Once the basic skills
are learned, the book points out areas of expansion by leveraging your first
investment.

While providing detailed instruction and examples, the author
leads you through finding your first location that will bring success, learning
how to draw up a winning business plan, installing basic cost control
systems, assembling your team of experts, generating high profile public
relations and publicity, learning low cost marketing ideas and low- and no-
cost ways to satisfy customers and build sales, setting up accounting and
bookkeeping procedures, and auditing.

There are thousands of great tips and useful guidelines. You will learn the development process, governmental issues, environmental issues, demographics and trends, market research, site selection, feasibility analysis, due diligence, preliminary pro forma, property acquisition, project design/refined pro forma, entitlements, financing/final pro forma, construction, operation, feasibility studies, financing, market analysis, construction, and asset management. The new companion CD-ROM contains all the forms demonstrated in the book for easy use in a PDF format.
