apartment and land investments. Go figure. I guess they wanted to cover a cash-flow investment and a speculative investment. Authors do a good job explaining the numbers. Very graph oriented. Book is chock full of graphs and charts in relation to the numbers. Chapter on dealing with tenants, negotiating, forms of ownership and one on financing.

Investing in land as a speculative investment is rarely for beginners(land is a cash drain) as most real estate investors are looking for cash either from flow or profit from a quick flip. So if you want info on both for some reason, check this book out.
