Books for incoming REPE Analyst

Just accepted a REPE offer, and was wondering where would be a good starting place to learn more about the industry / valuation methods ahead of time. I haven’t gone through the advanced portions of the guides yet and plan on doing that.


thanks!

A.CRE is a great online resource. Book-wise...

Textbooks:

1. Real Estate Finance & Investments: Risks & Opportunities (Linneman) - Easy read and more conversational, not very technical but good to get a core understanding of real estate.

2. Commercial Real Estate Analysis & Investments (Geltner & Miller) - Advanced read and more of a true textbook, very technical. This is good if you already have a strong foundation in finance.

Books - these are more generally focused on CRE and not as specifically on the finance side, they cover a broad range of subjects but are all great reads:

1. The Real Estate Game - a lot of people call this the bible.

2. Confessions of a CRE Entrepreneur

3. Making it in Real Estate

4. The Death & Life of American Cities
