5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Your Real Estate Library, November 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: California Real Estate Law (Hardcover)

I started in commercial real estate as an income property sales person, after getting a degree in real estate finance. I used this book while I studied real estate law in college, to pass my real estate exam, and to use anytime I had a need during my time as an agent. Today, 16 years later, I am now an active full time investor, and train other investors my successful techniques and strategies. This book is one of my top ranked "must haves" for any real estate investor. It quickly answers those legal questions that constantly come up. Plus, it helps me ask better questions to my attorney, when I do need his advise. It's paid for itself 1000 times over.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy the California Department of Real Estate Reference Book, January 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: California Real Estate Law (Hardcover)

This book is dated; the law changes at least one a month, sometimes more often. Your examiner doesn't live or work in the past or regard out-dated laws as useful tools for business. You will never know what is current, right or wrong when you trust a dated law book. NO. NO, NO, NO, GET SOMETHING NEWER.
