Even worse.
This book is a sequel to the now famous “property finance”, and has the ambition to go deeper within the lore, and expand the stakes of the plot.
The first one was terrible. It lacked depth, world building, emotions, and an engaging writing. But I let myself be tempted to give our authors another chance. After all, with how deceptive the promising first part was, it could only be better. I was wrong.
We take the story right after the events of the first one, and the main characters remain unchanged. “The borrower” is still by far my favorite one, the og, while “creditor” the hero of the first tome, takes a step back to let “Property” shine. As a matter of fact, It is an Eponymous book.
Without spoiling too much, the new nemesis here is “overvaluation” (some could argue its “depreciation”, but my take is that he is also a victim after all) and, while less impressive and overpowered compared to “the risk”, portrayed in the first opus, I appreciated the more insidious and complexity of this one.
But, to be fair, it is probably the only positive point about the book.
Indeed, the story is endless, with so much artificial addition just to gain some pages. The whole arc about “rates” (a useless sidekick) is painful, and even some parts are full flashbacks, unmodified, from the first book. Such mistakes were acceptable in a first one, now it clearly screams amateurism. Some more detailed explanation on “fiscal fraud”, on the way he managed to stay undetected for so long in the first part, would have proven more engaging.
The love story between “Land” and “Building” is rushed, they just mysteriously engage in a relationship from nowhere, unexplained, after the first chapter, to justify the launch of the Valuation Quest. (Spoiler : Only to find out in the end that the true valuation is the friends we made along the way)
Bottom line, it is definitely the last book I’m reading from this series. If it continues in this downward slope, even my goat “borrower” will be butchered and start going out with “negatives rates”. It’s just qualitative easing at this point.

This is one of the best books I have read about real estate so far. For someone who is analytical like me you will love the content of this book and most specifically the valuation and case studies chapters. The authors are meticulous when explaining the different methods of valuation that exists.
I would say this books focus more on people who already have some experience and knowledge in the fields of economic and finance as the income based models are the most modern and widely use for professionals in the field. Concepts like DCFs models are the foundation of modern valuation. Nevertheless, the authors states other approaches like the market approach or the cost approach which can work nicely in some locations with certain characteristics and learning these approaches are easily accessible to anyone.
