Professional Real Estate Development: The Uli Guide to the Business

Rating:
Summary: Very Good
Review: Richard Peiser, currently the Director of the Master of Real Estate Development degree at the University of Southern California, has succeeded in explicitly blending the both subtle and complex field of real estate development into a readable and informative text. It is a guide for everyone from the downtown titans to the suburban spec builder. The usable format includes the fundamentals for financial, market and construction analysis. Will you be able to read the book in the back of a taxi on the way to meet the board of directors for your newly formed REIT and talk them into more money? Probably not, however, it will fill in the holes for an accountant learning market analysis and visa versa. And when you consider that the price is the equilevant of a yard of good carpeting it probably won't hurt to cover your bases.
