Real Estate Investment: A Strategic Approach - Softcover

This book is a useful, timely and welcome addition to the real estate literature, and to my library. While recognising that approaches to investment strategy in real estate are as diverse as the asset class, the book provides a compelling and accessible case for a 'top-down' approach that should offer a useful and thought provoking reference for both students and practitioners.

This edition, like the others, is enriched by Baum's years and breadth of investment experience. The chapters are a lovely mix of theory and practical experience and the analysis is on the cutting edge of commercial real estate portfolio management today. Baum is effusive in thanking his colleagues for their assistance but I believe that only Andrew Baum could craft a book like this – a comprehensible piece of scholarship.

As an international real estate fund manager, I found this new edition of Real Estate Investment not only provides technical knowledge but also practical examples and case studies which are extremely relevant and essential to the decision making process of real estate professionals with a global prospective . To me, this book is the bible of real estate investment.
