Why did I not come across this wealth of information before? Anyway, this is an indispensable aid to any RE numbers cruncher, do the maths, due diligence...whatever. When is the latest edition to the other book coming out? Can't wait.

This book is an essential for anyone new, or seasoned, in real estate. You won't find a better summation of how to cast you due dillegence net around any real estate you might want to buy. The style is easy to comprehend, just try reading up on internal rates of return in most of those other books out there! This book is a keeper for doing the numbers in real estate.

I have recommended to all of my friends to read the following books in order to shortcut the process and learn what they need to know. I told them this is what I would do if I did it over again. (I have my CCIM, Masters of RE from CU, ULI Development Certificate, NAIOP courses) But in all those, this would be most beneficial and starting here would help in short-cutting the process:
1) What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow - Gallinelli
2) Insider Secrets to Financing Your Real Estate Investments: What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Finding and Financing Your Next Deal - Gallinelli
3) Professional Real Estate Development - 2nd Edition - Peiser
4) Principles of Real Estate Syndication - Friedman
5) Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur - Randel
I have read several other real estate books, but they tend to go way off course. This one tells you practical knowledge shoring up the base/foundation in order to understand more complex issues, but at the end of the day, simplisity will win out.
I think I have probably told at least 10 friends to read these books and they should be part of their "Library" as this will get them where they need to go and understand without practical experience.
I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't think it wasn't great.
I have no relation or affiliation to Frank G, just have read so many books, would like to shortcut the process for other people eager to get there and I love to read other people's reviews on Amazon so I know which ones are useful.
Hope this helps
A must read for any real estate investor!! July 19, 2008

"What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know about Cash Flow" is the definitive guide to understanding critical calculations that will help you to determine if a prospective acquisition target is a great deal to buy immediately or a horrible investment to avoid like the plague!
I've owned this book for years but often find myself referencing this wonderful and well-written manual.
