Book On Evaluating Deals

Hello,

I'm Kevin and I'm getting started in real estate. I just finished reading Turner & Dorkin's "How to Invest in Real Estate".

My biggest weakness right now is understanding how to evaluate offers that I see online (eg on loop net). I want to know how to do the math to evaluate if an offer is good.

I understand there are various calculators available on the website as well but if there is a book (and preferably if there is an audio book for the book) that would be really helpful.

Is this a good start: https://www.amazon.com/Book-Investing-Real-Estate-Money/dp/0990711714

Side note: I'm interested in multi family units in the Inglewood/Hawthorne area. As an LA native, I see lots of potential in this region with the new football and basketball stadiums + lots of new Chipotle/Five Guys-esque restaurants popping up.
