The turmoil in the international financial markets since the subprime loan crisis has had a significant effect on the real-estate investment market around the globe. This suggests that the real estate investment market is becoming part of the financial market. This book reviews current data on real-estate investing including topics such as the investment characteristics of the housing market; real estate markets in developing sub-Saharan Africa; ascertaining whether the superiority of "value" over "growth" real estate investment is unsustainable; emerging economies and secondary mortgage markets; a CBO report on the ongoing crisis in the housing and financial markets; changes to the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; an overview of the Securities Act of 1933 as it applies to private label mortgage-backed securities and others.
