The Thrill of the Deal (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798987286302)

THE THRILL OF THE DEAL is a story of the American dream, realized through real estate. In it, we see how Midwesterner Dale Marquardt moved to California and used imagination, guts, luck, and good humor to build a $50 million income-property portfolio that changed his family's fortunes in a single generation. Through blow-by-blow accounts, Marquardt shows the essential elements of negotiating, planning, financing, problem-solving, and ultimately succeeding as an investor or developer. The book is an indispensable-and highly readable-guide to making it in commercial real estate.
