Interested in Real Estate Development. Looking for Advice.
Hi,
I'm interested in real estate development and am currently in college. I'm not in a real estate or finance related major (IT). My question is are there books I can read to learn finance since I'm not in any related classes, also is there a guide to what I should know for development. Are there any real estate books I could read that would help me learn more. Let me know if there are any books to get in order to learn more about real estate or finance.
Linneman’s Textbook Real Estate Finance and Investments Risks and Opportunities, Fourth Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/0692480455/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OAfCBbC3W7HDG
The Real Estate Game by Poorvu The Real Estate Game: The Intelligent Guide To Decisionmaking And Investment https://www.amazon.com/dp/068485550X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kBfCBbZ6AN1E0
RE Development (published by Urban Land Institute) Professional Real Estate Development: The ULI Guide to the Business, 3rd Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/0874201632/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_SBfCBbK05PASG
I’d also suggest reading some biographies/ autobiographies of some of the best developers in American history. Look up: Gerald Hines, Trammell Crow, and William Zeckendorf.
YouTube is also incredibly underrated. Spencer Burton on YouTube has some great videos on how to model development in excel. Read The Real Deal, Curbed, and Commercial Property Exectuive news sources.
Thank you for the response
You’re welcome. I’m about to finish up my UG and have been very lucky with more senior people in development helping me out (cold emailing and getting a lunch/ coffee meeting cannot be overrated). If you need any other books, feel free to PM me.
Making it in real estate: Starting out as a développer by John Mcnellis
Great book - short and sweet, to the point.
That's an awesome book as well! Can easily read in 1-2 sittings and its extremely informative.
