After having read many books on real estate investing that were more of the mainstream self-help type, I wanted to find a book that was on an advanced level, perhaps something that is used in business school/university. This book does in fact read more like a collegiate book, and it has tidbits here and there that were not in the other books I've read. However, some areas are very poorly explained, I'd probably say a good 1/4 of the book does an awful job at explaining areas that I understood previously. So, I normally don't write reviews, but I then think if I find some areas confusing and they're topics I did understand coming INTO reading this, then some people who are using this first the first time are going to be like "WTF" at times. The sad thing is it's not because the topics are too difficult to understand, like I said, just not well written. But having said that, this is a good supplement book to pull some facts out of that are not in the mainstream books. I want to give it a one just to offset the 5 star ratings, but I don't think it's that bad. (Although seeing as there are only 3 ratings as of now I'm sure 2 are biased/author affiliated.)

George Bockl's real estate books are simply the best of the best, superb. They walk you through developing properties, using numbers, in a way few other books do. The author is a man of great decency and honesty and his way of dealing with people is heartwarming and a model for us to follow.
