Foundations of Real Estate Financial Modelling

Most of it is valuable: he lays decent groundwork for understanding financial modeling and he goes step-by-step in assembling pro formas - building on the basic model created in the beginning as the book goes on.But he seems to lose patience as the work goes on: there are plenty of mistakes - as other reviewers have noted. You'll spend half an hour wrapping your head on why he wrote an excel formula in a certain way, only to realize it he simply referenced the wrong cell. He also sacrifices clarity for brevity.Would be great as a second edition, with proper editing and more patient explanations.

This book is not worth buying. It’s riddled with mistakes, spelling errors, and misleading information. The models provided on the accompanied website have different inputs and outputs than the models in the book. The book also fails to bring up basic concepts, such as unlevered cash flow. I’m shocked this was published.

Fantastic book on Real Estate Modelling... I have to hand it to the author... He did really well in crafting this book because it is a tremendous help in walking the novice analyst through to intermediary modelling even all the way up to advanced status. Much respect because this will help me land and keep my job!!! 5 stars and I'd give 10 if they let me.

The book is great. It discusses areas of real estate analysis that few others are considering. The sections discussing risk and how to calculate probability of loss are very valuable. The book contains a thorough step by step guide to building an excellent real estate financial model.

The best book I have found for learning Real Estate Financial Modelling. Staiger clearly walks the reader through the process of creating the excel spread sheet model. The book also contains a link to a companion website which provides samples of the spreadsheets.

Could be a bit complicated if you don't have a Financial background, but it guides you every step of the way!

The book didn't provide modern modeling principles or any strategic thoughts on how evaluate real estate investments. If you simply want a financial modeling book, purchase a financial modeling book not including a brief connection to real estate.

The accompanying web site has some excel spreadsheets where the formulas need adjusting.

The item was very good and met my expectation.

I was looking for a hands on, practical step by step guide to building real estate financial models but this book is too theoretical.

Ist ein gutes Buch für das eigene Lernen und Lehren. Erklährt sehr einfach die Zusammenhänge und ist leicht nachvollziehbar. Hat mir gut geholfen.

full of mistakes...even the excel sheets are somehow creepy. i do not know hot this book could get the 5 stars recensations before...youtube videos helped me much more.

good
