Summary: Not a real estate investment how to...
Review: unless you consider some of the "Maverick Approach's" such as: Take your time negotiating, Work out the numbers before negotiating, Stay focused on your goals and Be willing to take chances- as advice you could only get from this book. Puh-leez.

This book is interesting for the stories of various Big-Time real estate mogul types (outside of The Donald) and some behind the scenes aspects of some of their deals that it covers (Melvin Simon, Eli Broad, Peter and Steven Lowy, Sam Zell, etc. that dont usually get as much coverage as Mr. Trump.) But DO NOT buy this book for specific real estate advice.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: What a surprise, a helpful primer for prospective real estate investors that is actually fun to read. "Maverick" is not so much a lesson plan but an outline of key factors to keep any investor on track. What makes it enjoyable are the anecdotes and true life stories of the successful investors such as Trump and Zell.
