F&%$ Real Estate
From Dirt To Cash FlowBy Chris KoenigLength3h 29m
About this audiobook
Most real estate books are written after the dust settles. This one was written in the middle of it, while contractors overbilled, fire departments changed requirements, and lenders asked for the same documents in three different formats.
F&%$ REAL ESTATE! is a ground-up development playbook from a developer who built over a million square feet of solar-covered storage and commercial projects. No theory. Just real lessons, the endangered hawk that almost killed a deal, the contractor who billed three quarters of a million for unfinished work, and the partnership lesson that good will is worthless unless it's in writing.
Covers it all: finding dirt before it's valuable, surviving fire departments, structuring capital stacks, managing contractors, and why the IRR is total bullshit. Whether you're building storage, retail, industrial, or office, the asset class changes but the playbook doesn't.
For developers who want to stop buying real estate and start creating it.
