Edward Smith, Jr., Smith Commercial Real Estate

Cambridge, NY Edward Smith, Jr., CREI, ITI, CIC, GREEN, MICP, CNE of Smith Commercial Real Estate has released his seventh book. This latest book on investing is a timely look at real estate today. Smith has been in the real estate business for over 40 years and has lived through several real estate cycles, and the booms and crises of our economy. Now, as we come out of the latest financial crises, it is a great time to invest in real estate.

This book examines what has happened to the real estate market over the last 10 years, the financial crises endured, and the solutions for the future. It will give the reader  guidance to making sound investment decisions, understanding the opportunities, financial requirements and the “numbers.”

“Real Estate Investments: What you need to Know,” was written to help new and experienced investors, and real estate agents to understand the simplicity and complexity of investing in real estate. It will define the terms, concepts and formulas you should know, and will examine the benefits and potential problems of real estate investments. A number of years ago, Smith wrote another book on investing, but since the real estate industry is constantly changing, he felt a new updated and expanded look at real estate opportunities today was needed.
