《房地产金融与投资(第10版)》既可供专业人员，也可供专业学者和学生使用。《房地产金融与投资(第10版)》中的所有概念和方法都是专业人员所使用的。我们的目标一直是，帮助每位读者提高他们的分析能力和更好地理解房地产市场中的一般机构和工具。

自从《房地产金融与投资(第10版)》前一版问世以来，房地产金融与投资领域的新情况已层出不穷。像商业抵押担保证券（CMBS）和房地产投资信托（RETT）这种用于商业房地产投融资的公共市场工具的演变，尤其是这样。我们在《房地产金融与投资(第10版)》这一版中所做的修订，反映了学生为从事房地产领域职业做准备时扩展该领域视野的需要。

我们也已努力使《房地产金融与投资(第10版)》对学生更加适用。例如，我们已经增加了一些图框，以表明对许多问题的财务计算器解法。在前面的章节也表示出传统的表格解法，以有助于对所描述的货币时间价值概念的理解。为了有助于《房地产金融与投资(第10版)》中所讨论的概念和方法联系于“现实世界”，在许多章节，我们也将一些基于房地产金融与投资现实事件的短篇阅读材料和实例包括其中。我们也使教师可以利用计算机spreadsheets会计软件，当他们认为这能够有助于学生解答《房地产金融与投资(第10版)》各章后的许多习题时，就使用它。
