Book Reviews of Principles of Real Estate Syndication
Book Review: Comprehensive and Easy to Understand
Summary: 5 Stars
Judging from the title alone, you might assume you would need to have a rather thorough understanding of the real estate business in order to fully grasp the subject matter in this book. Not so. While the business of real estate syndication is complex to say the least, the author has done a wonderful job of creating a VERY comprehensive resource that is surprisingly easy to understand. The material is very well organized, starting with the basics and moving on from there in a most logical fashion. Check out the Table of Contents by clicking on the "search inside this book" link above and you'll see what I mean. I particularly liked the fact that the chapters are concise and to the point, making the concepts addressed therein easy to understand and digest before moving on to the next. Helpful illustrations and examples are provided throughout to help the reader quickly grasp some of the more difficult concepts.
For me, another great thing about this book is the fact that it is written by someone who has enjoyed significant, long-term success in the business of real estate syndication (read about the author by clicking on the "search inside this book" link and then clicking on "back cover"). It's kind of like reading an essay on investing by Warren Buffett--you know you are learning from a true expert, not someone professing to be an expert.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in real estate investing.
