Any good resources / books on real estate history and trends?
Hey everyone. I was recently discussing multifamily with a sucessful investor and he mentioned that he feels a lot more comfortable waiving some contingencies on 80s product than 70s because a lot of regulations were passed in between and harmful materials were not used as much in addition to product generally being better built. 

I am learning a lot of this stuff by osmosis but wondering if there are any resources and books that cover a lot of the history of development or trends that can be a good primer.

Appreciate any help.
