Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): Great Book, but be aware of what it isn't . This is a great book, and well worth purchasing if you want to learn about finances for investment properties.  It is not all that it could be, but don't let that stop you from using it to get started.  All that having been said, here are the things that I had to be careful about:  1) Ten performance measurements and ratios are presented in chapter 6, and they represent the heart of the book.  There is little overview of which ones are most importance or how to use or weigh conflicting or offsetting results.  2) The book is heavily centered on spreadsheets, which the author offers to sell to you.  Others have criticized the spreadsheets for being locked.  I used the book to recreate my own version of the spreadsheets, and the extensive explanations in the book helped, mostly, to make sure that I got the underlying formulas correct.  What I noticed, however, is that the book sorely needed a financially sophisticated editor.  For example, the spreadsheet on page 193 has an entry for "Expense/Foot."  In fact, this entry is none other than the OER - Operating Expense Ratio - that was developed in Chapter 6.  Why go to all the trouble to create and define ratios, if you aren't then going to use them.  Other parts of the spreadsheets were equally problematic.  For example, the Net CF's - presumably "cash flow" - for a 3 year exit only had the receipts for years 1 and 2, and not for year 3.  Lastly, the book has nothing to say about (a) maintaining and growing a real estate portfolio of multiple properties as opposed to a single property, or (b) evaluating the relatively new 1031 multiple tenants in common investments that some long time owners are trading into in order to stop being a full time property manager as well as an investor.
Output (English): POS
