Good book

I picked up some pointers. I'm sure as I continue to go through the book I will learn more about Real Estate Math.

the right formula

if you are a real estate agent having trouble figuring closing costs, pricing, escrow accounts and other real estate math essentials, this is a good book. there are no "magic" math books. you have to sit down with your paper, pencil, calculator and practice. learn some basic formulas, study the material which is well organized, and you'll have a lot more "math self confidence".
