If you read this book, chapter by chapter, and do the exercises at the end of each one, you'll probably know more about Real Estate Finance than many people in Real Estate boardrooms. This will take a few weeks as a minimum, but it will have immense value.

The writers Geltner and Miller really choose to go "in-depth" with each topic, almost to the point of annoyance when you're reading it, but afterwards you realize why, and importantly, realize what you've learned by doing it.

This book is immensely valuable, and requires some work to achieve that value. It's value will be with you permanently however, because you will have absorbed the true principals of what's going on it real estate and the associated financial markets, and not just have memorized some glib cookbook answers which many people may instead be hoping for.

This is a book for thinkers and practicioners who want carry lasting value with them.


Very good text
This is a very good book. It covers urban economics and market analysis very well. The chapter on real estate and portfolio theory is more than worth the readers time. Text also covers commercial mortgages very well. This is not a get rich quick book but if you want to learn about commercial real estate, then this book is what you are looking for.


Great!
This is an excellent book for developing an analytical view on commercial real estate markets. It is not suited as a "commercial real estate analysis" step-by-step guideline for the average real estate professional, but it is great as a textbook in a university master course. Complex concepts and principles are described in an easy-to-understand way. The book has a broad scope, with chapters written from a finance, investments or urban economics perspective. One of the best books for an academic real estate course.


Worthless!
My appraisal is based on two test of verification: (1) the authors cannot write the leggibile prosa. They do not know like to constuct a coherent paragraph, and much less he develops one coherent description full-bodied. Mainly academic jargon. (2) the authors say that you can observe the real estate trades them from many perspectives, but give to prominence to the economy financial institution. Unfortunately, anyone that you limit their point of view to the econ of the fin cannot make the reasonable perspective of decisions.This renders the book useless. It is clearly that the authors do not have practical acquaintance of the real estate trade them -- or if they are maintaining it a secret. Written above all in order to impress their companions in the units of the econ and finance of the university.


Look how smart we are!
This may be the worst book on real estate or mortgage markets that I have ever seen. The authors seem to be saying "Look how smart we are!" I have an MBA from University of Chicago and much of the book is a bad rephrasing of inroductory corporate finance. My book for the real estate class at University of Chicago was by Bruggman (?) and Fisher; although that book will not win any awards, it is vastly superior. This book could easily lose 1/2 of its contents. Don't waste your money.


Disappointingly Complex
This book is unusable on its own. As a textbook in an advanced real estate course, with an inspired professor, this book would probably rate five stars. As a book from which a reader can extract useable information, this book is one star at best. For example, Internal Rate of Return can't be found in the index. By leafing through the book, you can find a brief explanation of the concept, which is far too complex and incomplete for an intelligent reader to use. I am a real estate developer with 30 years experience. I have bookshelves full of real estate books. This one goes to the bottom of the pile. Save your money.


Excellent
They are currently a student graduated in a master of science in the program of the real estate. That is the handbook that by far better it has read within my academic career. I will maintain this as reference source affinchè the years comes.


Cutting Edge Book
This book is ideal for the institutional levelled investor serious, or investor, lender, responsible of folder, or specific responsible rendered sophisticated well. Integral the economy financial institution of frontier in the real estate and the capital markets them. That is not a simpleton "obtains to rick" the book express that ignores the time of search and risk. Rather it is a book objective and deepened with the very many one to satisfy.
