Описание: From the author of a #1 Bestseller of commercial real estate books on Amazon, The Due Diligence Handbook For Commercial Real Estate. In this handbook you will learn:
How to determine the best way to price the rental for your investment property to get it leased at the highest rent
Tips and strategies to make your property attract tenants
How to interview and hire the right people that will help you get your property leased and create more value
How to structure your lease rate and terms to create the most value for your investment property
How to incentivize tenants to lease in a down or over crowded market
Essential analysis forms, proposal and lease form samples, tenant application and other forms that will help you to focus in, make it easier and more efficient
Don't take the "lottery approach" by not having a strategy for increasing value with your property management plan. This book is full of essential information, and not a bunch of minutiae with 30 to 50 pages of fluff that you have to sift through to find the helpful tips or key points. If you've read my book, The Due Diligence Handbook For Commercial Real Estate you know what I'm talking about. I attribute its popularity to the fact that it cuts through to the "meat" of the subject and gives the reader the step-by-step instructional information needed to conduct due diligence properly when buying investment properties. This is an extremely important part of the process that can make or break investment decisions. Your "golden" opportunity may turn to "lead" if you don't know where to find the hidden problems, undiscovered issues, and value creation opportunities an investment may hold. Much money can be saved and made by learning how to do it properly. Unfortunately, most investors and real estate professionals don't know how to properly conduct due diligence because they "don't know what they don't know." The fundamentals remain the same for adding value and leasing. This information can be used across the various genres of commercial real estate investments, whether it's office and industrial, retail or multi-family residential properties. I comment from time to time throughout the book on the different angles or strategies you may want to consider for the different property types, which I have obtained from my own background and experience of 30+ years in the commercial real estate industry--or from those I know to be the best at their particular specialty. For the more seasoned commercial real estate investors and professionals, I will share valuable experience from my time as a landlord representative where I leased properties as a local leasing broker. I also spent time as a Vice President of Leasing for an investor who owned about 12 million square feet across the U.S, where I had to learn local practices and customs, as well as the ins and outs of the various markets such as Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Orlando and Phoenix. Experiences learned during this phase of my career have also contributed to the contents of this book. This book includes very learnable skills that can easily be put into use right away to increase your property's cash flow exponentially. Every day you wait is another day of flushing more money down the drain. This information can shave years off your learning curve once you make it part of your investing skill set. Or you can continue to learn by "trial and error", which is costly and frustrating. Buy this book today and start generating more income, instead of hoping it all will work out. You will look back and consider it as one of your best real estate investments.

Описание: Yeats, Shakespeare, and Irish Cultural Nationalism examines Yeats's writing on Shakespeare in the context of his work on behalf of the Irish Literary Revival. While Shakespeare's verse drama provides a source of inspiration for Yeats's poetry and plays, Yeats also writes about Shakespeare in essays and articles promoting the ideals of the Revival, and on behalf of Irish literary nationalism. These prose pieces reveal Yeats thinking about Shakespeare's art and times throughout his career, and taken together they offer a new perspective on the contours of Yeats's cultural politics. This book identifies three stages of Yeats's cultural nationalism, each of which appropriates England's national poet in an idiosyncratic manner, while reflecting contemporary trends in Shakespeare reception. Thus Yeats's fin-de-si cle Shakespeare is a symbolist poet and folk-artist whose pre-modern sensibility detaches him from contemporary English culture and aligns him with the inhabitants of Ireland's rural margins. Next, in the opening decade of the twentieth century, following his visit to Stratford to see the Benson history cycle, Yeats's work for the Irish National Theatre adopts an avant-garde, occultist stagecraft to develop an Irish dramatic repertoire capable of unifying its audience in a shared sense of nationhood. Yeats writes frequently about Shakespeare during this period, locating on the Elizabethan stage the kind of transformational emotional affect he sought to recover in the Abbey Theatre. Finally, as Ireland moves towards political independence, Yeats turns again to Shakespeare to register his disappointment with the social and cultural direction of the nascent Irish state. In each case, Yeats's thinking about Shakespeare responds to the remarkable conflation of aesthetic and religious philosophies constituting his cultural nationalism, thus making a unique case of Shakespearean reception. Taken together, Yeats's writings deracinate Shakespeare, and so contribute significantly to the process by which Shakespeare has come to be seen as a global artist, rather than a specifically English possession.
The definitive account of how Donald Trump has wielded the powers of the American presidency
The extraordinary authority of the U.S. presidency has no parallel in the democratic world. Today that authority resides in the hands of one man, Donald J. Trump. But rarely if ever has the nature of a president clashed more profoundly with the nature of the office. Unmaking the Presidency tells the story of the confrontation between a person and the institution he almost wholly embodies.
From the moment of his inauguration, Trump has challenged our deepest expectations of the presidency. But what are those expectations, where did they come from, and how great is the damage? As editors of the "invaluable" (The New York Times) Lawfare website, Susan Hennessey and Benjamin Wittes have attracted a large audience to their hard-hitting and highly informed commentary on the controversies surrounding the Trump administration. In this book, they situate Trump-era scandals and outrages in the deeper context of the presidency itself. How should we understand the oath of office when it is taken by a man who may not know what it means to preserve, protect, and defend something other than himself? What aspects of Trump are radically different from past presidents and what aspects have historical antecedents? When has he simply built on his predecessors' misdeeds, and when has he invented categories of misrule entirely his own?
By setting Trump in the light of history, Hennessey and Wittes provide a crucial and durable account of a presidency like no other.

Описание: Known in his day as a spy, art thief, forger, womaniser and gambler, Archibald Brinsley Fox was an unlikely witness to the barbarous Civil War which claimed ten million lives in the wake of the Russian Revolution. Smiting the Bear is the journal of his extraordinary adventures in the wasteland of 1920-21 when the War climaxed with the near-demise of Russia. Fox had remained in Russia long after the other Revolutionary tourists fled; determined to steal a Fabergй Egg and seduce Lenin's erstwhile mistress, Inessa Armand. Alas, a meeting with Armand, by then the most powerful woman in Revolutionary Russia, propels him into a deadly skirmish and on to the ghost cities of Moscow and Petrograd; haunted by hunger, gangsters, Cheka (secret police), rapists, corrupt apparatchiks, disease and the 'besprizornye'; wild orphans (roughly seven million by the 1920s) who roam the streets in packs mugging and murdering, sometimes just for kicks. Naturally, desperate women abound too, a particular danger for venal Fox. Fleeing into the heartland of rural Russia, he is badgered into a peasant militia, compelled to partake in cannibalism and forced to attend elaborate tortures openly celebrated by an entire village. Fox also bears witness to commonplace horrors and historical events that were shrouded in mystery until the secret Soviet archives were opened to historians in the 1990s; confirming the veracity of Fox's shocking account. A perpetual turncoat not overly burdened with morals, Fox is on thin ice from the outset. And it duly cracks for the final time when he stumbles into the last great uprising against the Communist Dictatorship: the famous Kronstadt Rebellion of 1921. He knows it can only end in tears but, alas, he has no way out. Praise for Hennessey's first novel, Drowning in the Shallows, a contemporary satire published by Headline (Hodder and Stoughton) and a commercial success in the author's native Scotland: - "... a terrific story... one of the funniest, sharpest debuts of the year - dry, witty and cynical as hell." - The Big Issue "From the crackling start to the end of this debut novel the wit and pace are relentless and magnetic... the sexual swagger which underpins it all gives it style and presence." - Scotland on Sunday "Brilliant, intelligent and consuming writer... things ebb and flow through a series of exquisite interior monologues while his control of pace and tone are remarkably mature." - The List "An unflinching, brilliantly observed debut novel of love and sex." - Publishing News "... writes with tremendous energy and delivers excellent lines, supporting the manic comedy... Hennessey tells it with style." - Sunday Herald
