What is the best book on commercial real estate investing?

I'm keeping a list of all the real estate books I need to read in the future and I want to be able to own some commercial real estate properties (large or small) someday too. I didn't see a Biggerpockets book on commercial properties (maybe there is one that I didn't find) and I don't know which book to buy or which author to trust on Amazon. If you have any recommendations on any commercial real estate books, please let me know.

Know the lenders requirements for the loan types you will need.

For instance you may find you need to have liquid cash of 9 Months P&I and 100% of the loan amount as your personal net worth in order to avoid personal guarantees on the loan, and your retirement accounts may not count towards your liquidity.

Know the requirements of the loan products for the apartments you want to buy.

There are no books for that, that I know of--just lenders info.

Because without that all else is just scholastic exercise.

Good Luck!
