In need of an update........2000-09-05

This book, written in 1995, is full of valuable information. Unfortunately, because it is five years old a LOT of the information is out of date. This book seriously needs to be updated.

Book Description

Sensible, conservative real estate investing continues to be one of the most popular methods for small investors to prepare for future financial security. Real Estate Investing from A to Z explains real estate investing in simple, easy-to-understand terms that are relevant to any investor. It doesn't paint another pie-in-the-sky approach to real estate riches, in which the only people who get rich are promoters of high-priced seminar programs. Instead, Real Estate Investing from A to Z shows readers how to buy one or more homes using very little of their own money, and get discounts of 10% or more from market value. This revised edition contains updated information on:

Limited partnerships, REITs and lender sales where exceptional investor opportunities are still available
Getting the most from a home inspection, especially when buying older properties
The use and future of electronic media in buying, selling and managing real estate
Using your personal computer and on-line services to discover and research properties

Can you say information overload?.......2007-06-30

I was searching for a good book that would give me the basics on real estate investment and came across this one at a bookstore. Judging from the title, I thought this HAS to have the most definitive information that I'm looking for in order to get started as an investor. What I found was this book made my head spin. Don't get me wrong, it has a wealth of information and I'll probably refer back to it as the need arises. I guess I was looking for more of a step by step guide or something with a more orderly approach. This is more like a dictionary - so, you'd better know exactly what you're looking for before you open it. I bought this several months ago and still haven't finished reading it. In my opinion, it's not the type of book that you would (or could for that matter) sit down and read from cover to cover, but it does have some useful info nonetheless.

Most thorough book I've read on many different real estate investment strategies.......2005-07-10

I found this to be a real meat-and-potatoes book. Crammed with lots of information, you should learn something from Pivar regardless of your experience level. Great addition to the library.

He focuses on generating wealth through land ownership, commercial properties, single family homes, and property conversions. He also covers how using options and long-term appreciation can sweeten your deals.

Great overview of Numerous types of Real Estate Investments.......2004-11-25

Wonderful book for the beginner. While more motivational and thought provoking than purely step-by-step instructional it certainly de-mystifies the process and provides the average reader with enough real life examples that at least one (or more) should appeal to you. I would say this book emboldened me to get out and do something in real estate investing.

A shallow survey.......2001-03-06

This is a great book if you want to get excited about real estate investments. The first chapters give one the impression that there is minimal risk in real estate compared to a vast upside potential.

The rest of the book surveys all the various kinds of real estate investments but does not cover them in depth. If you are looking for a book to help you evaluate a real estate transaction from a numbers standpoint, this book is not for you. I would turn to "The Real Estate Game" by Poorvu as a beginner's guide for evaluating real estate transactions.

Do you really want "A to Z" information?.......2000-11-27

The problem with a comprehensive "A to Z" book like this one is that it likely contains more information than the reader really needs. If you are interested in all aspects of real estate investing - commercial, residential and land - having to sort through the material for just one of these won't be an issue for you. But my interest is in single-family residential houses for investing and rental. The book is not organized so that I could read appropriate chapters to get the information I wanted. These three subjects are interspersed, often under the same section heading. Admittedly, there are many commonalities between the three types, but often it was difficult to discern which type was being written about or if it applied to all three. If you're mainly interested in residential real estate, check the reviews for "Rental Houses for the Successful Small Investor" by Suzanne P. Thomas. Also, just as I was beginning to get annoyed at the number of success stories about clever tactics for making "a killing" in real estate, Pivar finally wrote about a few failures - with post-mortem analysis - which helped to point out the risks in this type of investing. Perhaps because the book is about four years old now, it doesn't talk about on-line searches and some of the tax information may be not be accurate now.

Book Description

When (if ever) may a professional deceive a client for the client's own good? Under what conditions (if any) is whistle-blowing morally required? These are just some of the questions that scholars as diverse as Michael D. Bayles, Thomas Nagel, Sissela Bok, Jessica Mitford, and Peter A. French confront in this stimulating anthology. Organized around philosophical issues such as the moral foundations of professional ethics, models of the professional-client relationship, deception, informed consent, privacy and confidentiality, professional dissent, and professional virtue, the volume illuminates the complex ethical issues that arise in journalism, law, health care, counseling, education, engineering, business, politics, and social science research. A variety of pedagogic aids including clear introductions to and study questions for each set of readings, concrete cases designed to focus discussion, and an appendix on preparing cases and position papers, make the text invaluable for both students and teachers of professional ethics.

The ONLY place to start........2005-03-18

I am so sorry that this book is not in wider distribution and use, both in colleges and in organizations. It contains a set of seminal articles and cases that EVERY professional who wants to discuss questions of professional ethics should read and understand (PRIOR to pretending that "professional ethics" is a anything other than a discipline with a well formed body of knowledge). Here, professional ethics is understood broadly (not merely one sort of organization) - come find your advanced degree in these pages!!!

Book Description

This book is about how families make end-of-life decisions and is a product of research conducted by the author in Jerusalem. The author recounts and analyzes six cases presenting various scenarios that families face when forced to make end-of-life decisions. The description of these cases is based on in-depth interviews with individuals who were dealing with or had recently dealt with a dying relative. The cases provide insight into what families and patients go through when having to deal with death. The legal, medical, ethical and cultural issues that arise from these cases are discussed.
The author discusses universal themes and at the same time helps the reader to understand what is unique about Israeli culture, and why the extraordinary mixture of cultures that is Israel, proved to be an ideal setting to address these issues.
Six Lives in Jerusalem is of interest to medical personnel and researchers, anthropologists, lawyers and legal academics.

Book Description

Dorothea Hilhorst provides for the first time an empirically rooted and theoretically innovative understanding of the actual internal workings, organizational practices, and discursive repertoires of NGOs. Her evidence and insights lead to a different picture of NGOs from the one prevailing in the literature. Her model of NGOs--not as clear-cut organizations, but often with several different faces, fragmented, and consisting of social networks whose organizing practices remain in flux--is helpful to understanding not just these bodies, but official development agencies too.

Dynamite Interviews with the Greatest Bluesmen.......1999-05-27

Just like having an informal buddy-to-buddy conversation with the stars themselves. Great book. I couldn't put it down. It's a definite for all levels of guitarists. I was inspired. Check out Secrets From The Masters by Don Menn also. Clapton is interviewed, and I really got a feel for where he's coming from as a guitarist. In this case, God isn't perfect. That's how I like the Blues. Try your best every time. Great book.
