Commercial Real Estate Analysis

[Kyle J.]

Afternoon all,

I was hoping some of you may have some recommendations for a book (or books) on commercial real estate investing. I have a background in zoning, land planning, and construction but am looking to fill in some gaps when it comes to developing and purchasing commercial properties I am currently interested in multi-family and office space but the book could be comprehensive. Anyone have any recommendations for technical books covering commercial real estate evaluation, laws, and development. A recommendation for a textbook that any of you have liked on these topics would be great. Really appreciate your time!

@Kyle J. for commercial development I recommend "Real Estate Development: Principals and Process. Third Edition" - it's hefty but has the technical level of detail you're asking about. 

For office I recommend, How to Win in Commercial Real Estate Investing. The title suggests it is all commercial real estate - which it is - however, Craig's focus is office and the book slants office. 

For apts, I recommend, The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apts by Steve Berges. I actively do multifamily and found this book helpful when I was getting started.
