Great book! Recommended for those whom are interested in learning about real estate. Very well written and it contains a lot of information that cant be found anywhere else! Recommended!

I bought the book because I am taking an online class taught by the author. It is a decent entry-level finance textbook. You need to be at least competent in simple algebra to understand the valuation concepts introduced but most college students should be able to handle it. Reading the book is almost as good as taking the class if you can already handle the math.

Excellent textbook for students to learn about commercial real estate. I particularly enjoyed the proforma chapters as a supplement following MBA corporate finance classes. The approach helped me understand the before and after tax investment value of properties.

Everything you need to know about Real Estate and it's finance, in one Book. It is very explanatory and comes with many exercises at the end of each chapter, helping you to recall what you have learned.

This book feels like it was written as much for advertising the author's academic credentials as it is to be a good teaching vehicle. That said, the book is quite comprehensive and it does a good job of investigating many areas of the real estate industry. Your job becomes digging the significant amount of valuable information contained in the book out of the verbiage.This book is a valuable resource for the fundamentals and offers quite a bit of sophistication in regard to the real estate industry. It is just that it is so tedious wading through what seems to be the M.I.T. veneer.

I bought a used one, but it turned out in a very good shape, looks like new. Love the content of the book, very informative.

The best book I've seen. I only wish it came in PDF. Would love to keep it on my laptop for reference as I travel.
