Real Estate Investment- A Capital Market Approach
Gerald R Brown and George A Matysiak
Periodic worldwide economic turmoil over the last few decades has created an environment in which the degree of risk of investment assets is now an important factor in their evaluation. This new text is the first to examine the effect of such changes on real estate markets, taking an in-depth look at three major areas of financial and economic importance within the real estate profession-
· The time value of money and the valuation of cash flows
· Risk and return in real estate
· Portfolio management
A unique feature of the book is its extensive use of empirical evidence, with ideas supported by research that has been undertaken using real property data. In addition, the authors have explored new areas by pushing back the boundaries of research, to encourage debate and provide a framework for the development of new ideas.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Property Valuation without Parry's - what a relief!, 15 Mar 2004 By  MR J P JONES "jonnyboy71" (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I had been looking for a text to help me make an easy cross-over from a capital markets background to the commercial property industry, while giving me enough ammo to find a potential area of study for an MSc. thesis in property valuation. What I found initially was a lot of books which claim to be the "new" way to value property, but which were written by property people, for property people. The furthest they seemed to go was teaching property monkeys new ways to say "Years Purchase" - and many of them still referred to Parry's Investment and Valuation tables once they'd done it. What Brown and Matysiak do well is to communicate to readers in a way which makes sense to analysts and capital market participants, stripping the traditional property industry jargon away from what are, after all, common financial concepts. The real interest lies in the pragmatic approach they take to portfolio management and risk analysis - it's accessible and comprehensive. So, this book WILL appeal to fund manager/ investment bank analysts, and SHOULD appeal to anyone in the commercial property industry - because a large amount of money comes into property from the financial markets. The RICS should require its study, and the AIMR should include its study within their CFA designation - which is sadly lacking on the real estate side at present. The only criticism I would make is that Brown and Matysiak try to cover too many bases and appeal to too many levels of student. The property market will be the point of entry to valuation of only a few students - so including the obligatory "time value of money" chapter really is a waste of paper. Thanks for the book, though, chaps! Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? Yes No (Report this)   5.0 out of 5 stars A RARE ANALYSIS OR REAL ESTATE, 20 Sep 2006 By  N. Douros - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Excellent work, highly documented and pioneering in the field. Proves that property is equivalent to all other assets and hence modern finance theory applies. Once you have mastered this book, you will have probably exceeded the MBA in Real Estate level.
