Boom Town to Bust and Back: Lessons in Predicting Real Estate Markets

Drawing on decades of firsthand experience in Florida real estate, Zalman Velvel lays out the patterns that repeat in every real estate cycle. This book shows you how to spot the warning signs before a market peaks, protect your investments during the downturn, and position yourself to buy when everyone else is selling. Written in plain English with real-world examples from markets Zalman personally traded in, this isn’t academic theory. It’s a practitioner’s guide to surviving and profiting from the boom-and-bust cycles that most investors only understand in hindsight. Essential reading for anyone with money in real estate.
