Real Estate Principles

If you want to learn pretty much everything you could hope to learn in a basic real estate class, this is a great book to do it with. My professor basically rambled the whole class, but I read the book and still made an easy A in the class. All of the details are covered completely, but are easy to read. The beginning of each chapter lists all the definitions for that chapter on one page, which makes for an easy review. There aren't any color picture, but the black and white diagrams do just fine, and it keeps the cost down, which is fine with me. This is one textbook I'm actually considering keeping.

This book is used as a college text for Basic Real Estate 101. It covers just about every Real Estate topic you can imagine, from brokerage to finance to appraisal and so on. Whether you are trying to learn about the profession of Real Estate and the types of jobs that entails or if you are trying to improve your knowledge of the sales process, this book will give you an excellent overview.
