Publisher's summary

A front row seat into the world of high-stakes commercial real estate investing

“A must-read book...one of the best real estate investment books I have ever read. On my scale of one to 10, this unique book rates an off-the-charts 12.” (Robert Bruss)

Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur is for the individual who is ready to get serious about investing. Not a rah-rah or get-rich-quick book, this book is for someone who is prepared to think about what he or she wants to accomplish. James Randel provides the how and why.

James Randel has been a successful investor and educator for 25 years. He teaches investing through stories and anecdotes—bringing to the limelight not just his successes (and there are some amazing stories of these) but also his mistakes. His candor is instructive and entertaining.

It is said that “those who can, do, and those who can’t, teach”. James Randel is a rare exception as he is both a highly successful investor as well as an excellent teacher. As said by Jeff Dunne, vice chairman of the largest real estate company in the world, CB Richard Ellis:

“I’ve tracked Jimmy’s incredible run of successful real estate investments for 20 years and more recently invested very profitably with him. His new book is a must read for anyone interested in real estate investing.”

If you are tired of the “same old, same old” and prepared to play in the big leagues, this book is calling your name.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Real Insights With Value

I’m a real estate agent with only 2.5 years under my belt. I got my license to make money to invest I real estate deals. After reading so many books on the topic this one blends real world experiences, strategic practices and tactical methods for doing deals. As a Florida based agent when he mentioned our state contracts developed by real estate attorneys known as FARBAR, I knew he was legit. Most if not all authors lack such specificity when it comes to laying out what factors go into real world deals with out getting caught up in the academic side of the business.

When you’re brain is ready to receive the powerful message within this book you will know it like a light switch that gets turned on. It happened for me and I know I’m on the right track. This is the way…
