Phenomenal book about real estate development

This is an excellent book on the subject of real estate development. Perhaps the title may be a little misleading because this books offers much more than just construction funding. Anyone who is involved in appraising, developing, or financing a development project should read this book. The authors describe the entire development process from the concept, seed capital, and regulatory approvals to construction. Also, the book teaches readers how to create the projected pro forma by establishing realistic operating statements showing income, expenses, and net operating income. The chapter on sources of financing is phenomenal. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in real estate development. - Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market?

Good if you're serious

This isnt a book for someone who wants to dabble in real estate investment. This is a book for big time investors (or people who want to be big time.) It is great if you're looking at large projects like apartment complexes, and it's well written.

MBA student

Very interesting  book; very easy to read. As a small real estate investor I found it very helpful in understanding many of the ins and outs of real estate and financing, especially on the scale i would like to grow to.

A first class book on Real Estate Development

The third edition of Construction Funding by Nathan S. Collier et al is a remarkable demonstration of insight and expertise. Collier and colleagues provide an exceptionally lucid description and analysis of the process of real estate development that is accessible to non-experts while being authoritative at the same time. In addition to being an excellent text for students and others interested in careers in real estate development, this book serves as essential background for all those whose responsibilities include any part of the development process.
