RealData is pleased to announce the release of a new book by company president and founder, Frank Gallinelli: "Mastering Real Estate Investment -- Examples, Metrics and Case Studies"

Gallinelli is the author of the best-selling book, "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow..." (McGraw-Hill, 2004). In his new book he discusses the 37 key formulas and concepts that underlie income-property investing, such as Discounted Cash Flow, Debt Coverage Ratio, profitability Index and Internal Rate of Return, and provides numerous examples of their calculation and use.

He then takes you beyond those formulas to the next level, with comprehensive case studies of four different properties: single-family rental, re-hab project, apartment building and strip center. He shows you how to build and interpret detailed financial analyses. You learn to look behind the numbers, to think like a successful investor and to recognize both the opportunities and the perils you might encounter when investing in real estate.

"Mastering Real Estate Investment" is available at http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Rea...s/dp/0981813801 .

A expanded second edition of "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow..." has also just been released and can be found at http://www.amazon.com/Estate-Invest...s/dp/0071603271
