Keith’s book does an excellent job at helping both new analysts to MD’s in understanding modeling of complex master tapes (models). If you need to know how to structure a fixed or floating rate transaction this book will give you key tools to understand, build and read strats, term sheets, and OC data. Many of the functions and formulas that are explained are used in real working models but in additon to that this book explains key concepts in the structured finance world. Unlike other books this book has a much more active learning style and really gets you involved.
I look forward to the day when Keith writes a book focusing on CMBS, I will defintely buy that one also.

This is a good book. It is well-written, gives both the theoretical side and implementation, and gives tips on excel. I am a beginner but it was easy for me to follow. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn excel for i-banking or some other finance job.

Teaches how to build up a cash flow model for big companies such as banks and insurance companies. Not useful for small companies, but even for small companies gives some idea for building a cash flow model.
