5.0 out of 5 stars Mastering Real Estate Math, November 21, 2003

Whether you are entering the real estate market for the first time and are prepping for your exam, or are a seasoned pro, this book is a total Godsend! Ralph Tamper and his associates have amassed an impressive, comprehensive and easily digestible volume on any and everything you need to know about the specifics of real estate math to get started-and thrive-in the business. And, if like me me, it's been a very long time since you've even seen a math book, you, too, will be eternally grateful for this book!
Mastering Real Estate Math walks you step-by-step through every pertinent scenario and provides clear, concise instruction, practice questions, and a challenging test at each chapter's end, so you'll feel confident and ready on exam day...and beyond. The answer key shows the methodology used in problem solving, enhancing the learniong process.
I couldn't have passed my exam without it! This text should absolutely be a requirement in all real estate education curriculums in the USA, not just for exam prep, but for use in everyday practice. Even my mortgage broker in California who has 20 years in the business got it and he loves it!
Big kudos again to Ralph Tamper and Co. for a producing an essential workbook, and thus providing real estdate industry professionals with a tremendous asset. And kudos also to Dearborn Real Estate Education for their fine roster of real estate educational materials.

This review is from: Mastering Real Estate Mathematics (Paperback)

I have reviewed many real estate books and this is a very very basic book for beginners of residential real estate math. The book starts with adding and subtracting. There is no section on the finance behind income producing properties such as determing cap rates, cash flows, etc. Even for beginners, this book is extremely basic with basic math formulas. You would need a supplemental book with more advanced concepts. If you have no math background, then this is a good book but if you know some math, I would recommend a more advanced book.

if you are a real estate agent having trouble figuring closing costs, pricing, escrow accounts and other real estate math essentials, this is a good book. there are no "magic" math books. you have to sit down with your paper, pencil, calculator and practice. learn some basic formulas, study the material which is well organized, and you'll have a lot more "math self confidence".
