The Real Estate Game: The Intelligent Guide To Decisionmaking And Investment

Description:

The Real Estate Game is a comprehensive guide to successful real estate investment from one of the masters in the field. Drawing upon four decades of experience developing, owning, and managing properties and on almost thirty years of teaching at the Harvard Business School, William J. Poorvu offers an insider's perspective on how to make smart decisions about real estate.

The real estate “game” is played by people, and it’s the stories of real people that make Poorvu’s introduction to the industry colorful and interesting. You will meet players ranging from real estate moguls to small-scale developers to individual investors in exotic investment instruments. Their stories evolve throughout the book and illustrate how these people—with all their complicated needs, talents, and motives—fit into the larger process and context.

In clear and nontechnical language, Poorvu explains how variables—players, properties, capital markets, and the external environment—come together to influence the shape and outcome of a real estate deal. He explains the time frame for different kinds of real estate investments and walks the reader through the key “periods of play” in the real estate game: concept, commitment, development, operation, reward, and reinvestment.

The Real Estate Game introduces a simple but powerful “back-of-the-envelope” technique for analyzing the financial implications of a potential deal. Using this tool and others, Poorvu shows readers how to use direct investments, syndicates, and REITs to get into the real estate game across a broad range of property types: residential, office, hotel, industrial, and retail.

Offering unique insight into the ways that developers and investors can create value,
The Real Estate Game is both a perfect introduction for the novice and an invaluable overview for the experienced professional.

Well worth the money. Former Harvard Business lecturer gives a solid overview of the real estate dynamics. Industry has evolved since this was published but fundamentals remain relevant. A very well written enjoyable book in my experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs Salt

a. · June 6, 2020

Let me start by saying I think the book is good. Good as in it provides plenty of actionable advice that could be applied to the world of real estate. Using this could theoretically improve your decision making and just maybe you could live out your dreams; having won the game of life using real estate as a vehicle. That's all great but in my opinion, the book is a little dry. It honestly made me lose interest multiple times while reading it, that's too bad seeing as the information inside in the book is good.
