Any Time
Table of Contents | Sample Chapter Purchase

Ever wonder how real estate magnates become real estate magnates? By filling out mind-numbing mortgage applications? By making personal guarantees to their bankers? Hardly. For years, successful real estate investors have used methods of securing funding that are nontraditional, yet result in profitable deals. Now, real estate expert James Misko makes these innovative techniques available to you in How to Finance Any Real Estate, Any Place, Any Time.

HOW TO FINANCE ANY REAL ESTATE ANY PLACE ANY TIME is an easily readable book outlining forty-five strategies for financing real estate without using the traditional cash-down payment and loan-from-bank method. Each chapter is broken into three sections:

1. The first discusses the broad criteria that would trigger the suggested use of that strategy.

2. The second applies the strategy and directs how to go about implementing it.

3. The final section discusses a true-life example giving the details and the benefits to the buyer and seller.

An earlier version published by Prentice Hall titled CREATIVE FINANCING OF REAL ESTATE sold thousands of copies and went into three printings. That book, now out of print, sells on the used book market for anywhere from $49 to $350.

riverboat, helps build the Alcan Highway, and is drafted into World War II.

After WWII he returns to the village to find his brother stole and destroyed the letters he wrote to his girlfriend and married her himself. Depressed and angry he flies to Anchorage where he is to learn that not all men are his brothers. Drink, unemployment, homelessness and lack of purpose allow him to float on the surface of a small minority of natives who live desperate lives of dereliction. There is humor and shared experiences as Bill negotiates the ways of living without income in Alaska’s largest city, which includes hunting moose behind McDonalds and getting the most out of the rotund Captain Russell of the Salvation Army Corp.

The untimely death of his dominating brother causes the widow to come to town, find him, and give him a second big chance at love, life, and happiness. Though he is hardly able to stand from drinking, she convinces him to drive the sled dogs his brother has trained for the last great race on earth—the 1,000-mile Iditarod sled dog race.

Hung over and sick as the race begins, he first has to survive. He then remembers what his dad and uncle taught him about driving dogs, and then rises to the challenge of finding his way through a thousand miles of frozen hell. A money prize large enough to change his life awaits him on Front Street in Nome, Alaska, as well as a pretty widow who has hinted she’ll be there when he crosses the finish line.

Sample Chapter | Pre-Order | Not Available Yet

This book encompasses a week in the life of a desperate entrepreneur caught in a deadline to close a $400,000,000 real estate exchange involving 130 owners, an Indian tribe, The Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Game, and the Forest Service.

Cranky ranchers who are already using the land owned by others, a brilliant, wily Indian just released from prison chosen by the tribe to represent them, the IRS, and a woman seeking to get her share of the profits cause more problems and frustration than the protagonist, Hawk Neilson can take.

An underhanded employee is sucking money out of the company account, while his retirement hangs in the balance forcing Hawk to sell his properties cheap and fast and pay a big price to borrow more money to get through to the closing where his share of the profits could total millions.

Fast-paced with wonderful characters driven by their most cherished desires, they ride through this novel with wit and surprises that will have the reader cheering for an outcome that may or may not be possible.

   Set in a fictional small town in Northern Idaho, Hawkins Neilson runs this show from beginning to end with humor, grit, determination, and persistence toward the goal. When he hits a brick wall, he goes under, around, or over it. Nothing will stop him from closing this transaction and retiring to his big house by the river.
