Book testimonials
“Over the past few years, there have been two people to whom I’ve asked 99% of my real estate math and market questions: Dave Meyer and J Scott. So when I heard they were writing a book on the topic of real estate metrics… It’s like if Michelangelo and Da Vinci decided to team up and make a painting together.”
—Brandon Turner, Best-selling author of The Book on Rental Property Investing and longtime co-host of The BiggerPockets Podcast
“When people ask me if they should buy a certain property they’ve identified, I often reply, ‘Let the numbers be your guide.’ However, many new investors don’t know how to analyze the numbers and are left guessing…This book changes all that. You’ll be able to make decisions like a pro and easily determine which deals meet your unique financial goals. A big shout-out to J and Dave for sharing their brilliance!”
—Kathy Fettke, Cofounder of the RealWealth Network
“If financial literacy and real estate investing are ever taught in schools, this should be the textbook! Everyone should know how to build a personal financial statement, read a balance sheet, and create a profit and loss statement. J and Dave break down these concepts with easy-to-understand examples and charts. This book should be required reading for every high school student and up!”
—Henry Washington, Cohost of the BiggerPockets On the Market podcast
“This is one of the most comprehensive books I have read when it comes to the numbers behind real estate investing.

The lessons and examples taught in this book help investors to use numbers to make informed decisions in every phase of the deal; from analysis to acquisition and from financing to the sale. For both newbies and seasoned investors, this is an essential book for any library.”
