2.0 out of 5 stars It's a toughie., December 7, 2005
By Carolyn J. (Ventura, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This is the text book that was assigned to my class, and I am taking an at-home course. I don't know if these guys are covering everything or not, but I can tell you this: they sure don't know how to write clearly. Sentences are long-winded and convoluted. I read each sentence over and over just trying to figure it out. I am taking notes by re-writing every paragraph. Appraisal school is difficult enough without having to decipher and translate the textbook into plain English. Today's example:

"The amount of the expected annual 'effective gross income' from the property, estimated by subtracting aniticipated vacancy and collection losses from potential gross income".

I translated that to:

"Effective Gross income equals potential gross income minus (anticipated vacancy + collection losses)."

It makes for very tedious studying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent text, lousy index, February 18, 2004
By A Customer
This book was required reading for two different course-series I completed last year: real estate appraisal, and real estate broker. Of all the books I had to read (10 total) this was by far the best. Very well written, and it covered the subject matter very well (I wish I could say the same for the broker courses I took -- will have to re-take the state exam a second time because of that...).

One major flaw in the book though: the index is pathetic. I'm currently preparing for the state exam, and when looking to review particular words/phrases/concepts, the index is nearly useless. Was the index computer-generated by some software with a lousy algorithm?

Anyway, it's a great book for the student. But I worry that the lousy index will greatly reduce its usefulness as a reference text when I start work.

I have been working as an appraisal apprentice for 3 months. I have read 3 different books and this is the most concise and clear.

2.0 out of 5 stars Short on helpful advice
If you're looking to learn how to appraise a home than this isn't the best book to get. As a beginner it was hard to get a grasp of appraising.
