1)On page 6, mistakes show up.. there are two FOURTH on page 6, wherein should be one FOURTH and one FIFTH.
2) Too many photos, big photos. I am tired to see all the damn big photos, which may have cost me 20 dollars out of the price of this book.
3) stupid headers. on every page, the header only tells you the name of the chapter. but it does not tell you the order of the chapter. for example: on page 154, the header is Finance. on page 155, the header is REAL ESTATE FINANCE: BACKGROUND. that is all. if you want to know which part, or which chapter this page is about, you have to look for it by yourself by turning the pages one by one.
4)weird language. As an international student. I cant understand these language at all.
5)the writting is highly degressed. under every topic, the author doesnt respond to this topic. he just talks about the things randomly. after you read the essay, you dont know the difinition of the topic.
TOO many shortcomings to say.....
The author does not understand students at all. this book is readable only for real estate professors. The writting is highly spreaded. meaning no focus. I just dont know it is talking about after I read all the book.. And summed up by saying Dont brag!. Currently Real Estate Development: Principles and Process has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
