This text provides a clear presentation of the numerous investment decisions involved in real estate such as whether and how to lease, buy, sell, or mortgage a property; how to analyze and predict the forces in the market that determine real estate values; whether and when to renovate, rehabilitate, or demolish; and when and how to divest a property. The authors use Value as a unifying theme, supporting their view that students best understand and appreciate the importance of the complex economic, social, and legal processes that affect real estate markets after they have developed an understanding of how real estate valuation and investment decisions are made. The text provides a decision-making framework through a greater use of technology and quantitative decision-making tools. It is organized into five perspectives: Investment, Market, Value, Mortgage Finance and Legal.

REAL ESTATE currently is experiencing a revival of interest from the aca¬demic community. The Gordon and Howell 1 and Pierson 2 reports of the 1950s, which analyzed education for business in U.S. colleges and universi¬ties, condemned much of the prevailing business education, and they were particularly devastating to the field of real estate. Undoubtedly the total effect of these reports was for the good, in view of the education process that prevailed in many collegiate schools of business. Too often the teach¬ing of business subjects involved a how-to-do-it approach rather than the application of theory and research to business problems. The criticisms were particularly cogent for much of real estate education.Undergraduate collegiate real estate education at that time was shackled by a proliferation of courses in Principles and Practices of Real Estate, Real Estate Brokerage, Property Management, Real Estate Salesmanship, Construction Techniques, and others. Too little attention was given the underlying disciplines of economics, land economics, psychology, and sociology. Real estate was most certainly thought not to be concerned with the great social problems of an urban society.The effect of the reports on business education was dramatic. How-to¬do-it courses were pared from business curricula.
