My book review of "The Great Housing Bubble" by Lawrence Roberts is now online at Inman News. From the review:
Besides working at his day job as a planning and development consultant in Orange County, Calif., author Lawrence Roberts regularly moonlights as the chief blogger for The Irvine Housing Blog. The book arose from Roberts' experience as a blogger and from the many reader comments he received while blogging.
If you're looking for a cheery and breezy "Housing Bubble Explained for Dummies," this isn't the book for you, nor would that even serve its purpose. What's compelling about it is that the author has a background in real estate that's far removed from the sales process, so he's able to step back and provide the sort of unemotional, macroeconomic overview that seems quite atypical for a guide to investing in real estate.
Of course, that makes perfect sense considering his master's degree in land development from Texas A&M University, which runs a well-respected real estate department.
