BEST BOOK ON THE SUBJECT THAT I HAVE READ

I have read allot of real estate books, as I am involved in this industry, but there are not many books that go into the apartment building side like Steve Berges has done.This is an excellent book, if you are just getting involved in multi-units, as well as the experienced professional...there is information here that is beneficial to everyone involved in real estate.

A Must Read Book - I HIGHLY Recommend

I can't tell you what a great book this is. I started reading it one day and couldn't put it down. It is an easy to read, information packed book for anyone who wants to invest in apartment buildngs. He tells you to exactly how to value the property and exactly what to look for when purchasing a building. I just sent a copy to my brother so he can enjoy it too!

Better than basic

I don't know what BASICS (other review) is talking about. The financial models are explained, and it is not heavy on marketing his software. Outside of a financial textbook this is one of the better fundamentals books I have read. Stresses value play - in-out - approach, but the key financial ratios and it's points are very astute. If you are looking to get into the business this is a great introduction and, I would say, a must read.

Realistic Approach to Real Estate

This is a terrific book for someone interested in approaching real estate investment in a serious way -- using analysis and sound business principles. But if you are only interested in the "no money down" & "get rich quick" schools of thought, pass on this book.
