Book Review: 50 Real Estate Investing Calculations

Every landlord quickly learns that real estate investment involves many financial considerations. Whether you’re considering a new investment, comparing properties, preparing taxes, or determining rent increases, knowing financial terms and equations is critical. Fortunately, this book can help! 

 In 50 Real Estate Investing Calculations: Cash Flow, IRR, Value, Profit, Equity, Income, ROI, Depreciation, More, author Michael Lantrip draws on his law and finance background to compile calculations for real estate investors. From Assets to Value, each chapter presents a detailed equation, clarifying terms and providing practical applications. 

 Using these equations, investors can see their property in a new light and gain confidence in making financial decisions. Getting a better sense of long-term costs and profits can be vital in planning for the future and running a successful enterprise. Many of these calculations may look familiar, but Lantrip adds value with detailed explanations that include essential exceptions and caveats. In addition, he provides links to online calculators that perform the mathematical operations for many of the equations he describes. 

 While this book should be accessible to veteran investors and readers with financial expertise, beginners may find the complex terminology overwhelming. That said, many investors have relied on 50 Real Estate Investing Calculations since its 2018 release, earning it a 4.4-star rating and Best Seller status on Amazon. 

 Many other books offer a how-to approach to investment and managing properties, but 50 Real Estate Investing Calculations has a different goal. In this book, current and potential landlords seeking clarity on investment-related calculations will find they’ve come to the right resource.
