These books are getting a little dated. The concepts are valid though. Use them to develop your own process for acquisition and disposition of apartment buildings.

i ordered the book by burges from amazon. yes i believe you mentioned they were dated, but im going to read them for exactly the reason you mentioned.

if you have any other recommendations, i'm all ears ;]
