User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Worth the money
This book was required for my RE class at school, so I had to buy it. But unlike many college text books, which will sit on the shelf unused 90% of the time, this one actually proved to be very, very useful. It covers financial and some legal aspects of all major categories of real estate. It helps to be familiar with DCF, TVM and other basic accounting concepts before starting this book.
4 Stars Gets to the point, full of information
This is a detailed text that is easy to read. It should be noted, however, that due to the vastness of the subject there’s lots of similar terms that can be easily confused. This isn’t a book you read and pass along, keep it on the shelf for reference. Absolutely love the web site links that have Excel sheets ready to analyze.
5 Stars Would buy from again
I needed my text book fast because the class I was in had already started before I ordered the book, and this seller had the book to me in 2 or 3 days. I was very happy about the quick shipping and the condition they described the book to be in was right on. No surprises which is a good thing.
5 Stars quick delivery

1 Star Professors spare your students!
This is by far one of the worse text books I have encountered so far in my three years of higher education.
The authors do a horrible job summarizing points and one must read paragraphs multiple times to understand something as simple as a fixed rate mortgage. The book also has poor illustrations and confusing graphs.
The book has paragraph headings but after reading the entire paragraph 3 or 4 times I find it difficult to write in words what the paragraph title actually means. There are no bold terms or summarized definitions on the side margins which makes studying nearly impossible. For the amount of math in the book the authors also do a poor job explaining how to work the problems and show little work.
