Hey ladies,
I think we should get a reading list going since we finally have our own forum. I'm always looking for great RE books.







I just picked up "The Real
I just picked up "The Real Estate Game" by William Poorvu based on recommendations from other sites. Would love to hear about others people have read and recommend.
I love this book. Gives a
I love this book. Gives a comprehensive view of real estate as an asset class from some basic urban economics to investment analysis. Worth reading if you've already taken a basic corporate finance or finance course. It's a bit academic, but worth the read. Worth it if you want a career as an professional investor in the asset class.
Commercial Real Estate Analysis and Investments. David M. Geltner (Author), Norman G. Miller (Author)

Second this, Geltner's book is my favorite. Its great if you are working professional in real estate with a strong understanding of finance; not so great for RE noobs.
I would recommend this one for RE noobs as an intro to RE finance-

I have read several of the books listed above and would agree with these suggestions.
Another book I would recommend that is a little more entrepreneurial and touches on opportunity identification and deal making is: Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur

Totally forgot this one. Some good info and perspectives from experienced people. http://www.amazon.com/Commercial-Real-Estate-Tsuna... The part that annoys me is how much the author tries to "sell" each contributor, and how much each contributor tries to sell his/her POV. There is also a boring section on how to adapt to changing times that is way too vague.

This book linked is the 1st edition, printed in 2000. ...
The one I have is the 2000 one (I'm old so read it pre-2006). Its a big textbook that covers a lot (800+ pages). If money is an issue for you, get the older one. If you can stretch to the newer one buy it. It's likely to be a book you'll have for years. The most important thing is that you actually read it (most won't because of the size and because its a text book).
