Math Based Real Estate Book Suggestions?

[Account Closed]

Do yall have any good suggestions for a real estate investing book(s) that is heavy on the details and math. I plan to venture into REI pretty soon and have been reading what I can find from amazon. It seems that most of these books give me an idea of how certain types of deals are done but not the nuts and bolts.

I have a strong math back ground and would like to use it to my advantage.

I guess I'm looking for a book that has more to do with learning and less to do with "motivating me to be the best I can be." I need a text book.

Thanks,
James
