As an investor with 11 years left to retirement(I hope), I greatly appreciated the detailed and thoughtful waythis author compared and and contrasted various investments. I like to think of myself as a smart investor who is extremely concerned about asset allocation and thisbook truly fills that need. Also, the book doesn't "trash" stocks. It shows that based on yield and risk, stocks will subperform well-selected income properties. It does not allege that stocks always rank poorly, nor does it claim real estate is always a great investment. Instead, it gave me the knowledge to make more profitable investments--regardless of whether I buy stocks or property. The book is extraordinarily well researched and referenced (hundreds of notes at the end of the book) for serious investors. Personally, I enjoyed reading these notes as much as the book, itself. Lots of insight into how we got to where we are and where we're going. If you decide to only browse through the real estate-stock analysis, the latter 6 or 7 chapters that focus primarily on property will give you more than your money's worth.Click Here to see more reviews about: Value Investing in Real Estate (Hardcover)
