Review of Real Estate Valuation in Litigation, Second Edition (Hardcover)

The author addresses appraisal subjects in the terms and in a context that an appraiser normally communicates.He provides adequate legal explanations and court case reference, so, the appraiser can communicate with their legal counsel & clients.It is extremely insightful for all who are doing any type of court or property tax appraisals.It is slanted to condemnation assignments, however, the appraisal & legal principals are enunciated clearly enough that, they are easily extended to property tax and estate appraisal assignments.It has been helpful to my work my Ad Valorem assignments.

Review of Family Properties: Race, Real Estate, and the Exploitation of Black Urban America (Hardcover)

Family Properties: Race, Real Estate, and the Exploitation of Black Urban America
This is one terrific book -- focused, hard-hitting and extremely readable. I will not go into details; a growing number of glowing reviews from the New York Times,the Washington Post and others take care of that. In brief, Satter has written an instant classic about exloitative contract sales to blacks that were common in many cities from World War II to the late 1960s. This is a must read for anyone wanting to understand why America's big cities turned out the way they did.
