4.0 out of 5 stars Essentials of Real Estate Finance, October 10, 2000

By	sandy lee (New York, New York United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Essentials of Real Estate Finance (Paperback)

This is a great book for anyone who is interested in learning real estate finance from the beginning without a finance background. The book provides readers with a wide coverage of fundamental finance principles. Readers will get a good sence of the current finance industry trends from this book. There are many easy to understand examples given under the "In Practice" narrative feature.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Essentials", but not much more, December 30, 2003

By	John P - See all my reviews

This review is from: Essentials of Real Estate Finance (Paperback)

I expected something a bit more in-depth rather than a primer. There really isn't much here that wasn't covered in each of the, sort of generalized, real estate practice books I purchased for about the same price.

I was severely disappointed with the short shrift given to most of the topics and pity those poor souls who paid list price for this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Essentials Of Real Estate Finance by Steven Vornea, October 19, 2006

By	Steven Vornea "Steven Vornea" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Essentials of Real Estate Finance, 10th Edition (Paperback)

Thought this book was more of a starter for individuals interested in real estate finance. If you're an experienced player in real estate, you may find this book to be quite boring. Beginners should take a liking to the read.

Best,
Steven Vornea
