Books Education on Apartments

[Andy F.]

Hi Everyone:

My close buddy is interested in investing in commercial property specifically  multi-unit apartment buildings and complexes. He is looking for the best book/info on the subject. While apartment investing is exactly what I do personally, in the interest of keeping a good friendship intact neither one of us is interested in my teaching/training him. I've been a landlord and real estate investing for so long any written material I have is likely outdated. Can anyone recommend the best book on this subject? Not interested in seminars, just a very good thorough book. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
