The seventh edition of Modern Real Estate Finance and Land Transfer—a sophisticated, yet teachable casebook—explains the increasingly complex legal, business, and tax issues surrounding real estate transactions with discussion relevant to both commercial and residential deals. Real-world examples help foster the practical skills required of attorneys to add value to their client’s transactions, while being experts in the decidedly non-uniform black letter law of real estate transactions. Appropriate for both a basic Real Estate Transactions or Real Estate Finance course and also advanced seminars, the topical and chronological organization covers conveyancing and finance as well as commercial leasing, and follows the lending cycle in modern financing from commitment to default and bankruptcy. The authors are scholar-practitioners who skillfully mix practical skills and theory students will need to add value and remain relevant in today’s competitive legal and business markets.
