Real Estate Dealmaking: A Property Investor’s Guide to Negotiating Negotiating deals may be one of the most intimidating aspects of real estate investing.

* Use the motivations of every player to your advantage

* Create win/win situations

The Territorial Imperative: A Personal Inquiry into the Animal Origins of Property and Nations (Kodansha Globe) Customer Review: a GIANT SLEEPER in the world of science
For those people who like to read and do a lot of reading, this is one of those books that you find quite by accident and wonder why you never read it in high school or college. The overall argument of the book lends profound insight into the study of animal behavior (ethology i believe) and answered so many questions I had about my personal daily observations. This book also attempts to make a link between animal behavior and human behavior. Those who believe that humans are not animals, but higher than animals may want to skip this title if you don’t have the courage. Keep in mind however that it was Carl Sagan who called for an alliance between religion and science and Pope John Paul II who said “Science can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish…Such bridging ministries must be nurtured and encouraged.”

Lastly, it’s worth would be justified merely by the bibliography of books it provides throughout its pages. No doubt, this is a dying field of science (mostly thanks to religion’s inability to adapt to the facts) in a country that is mentally decaying itself. That should not, however, diminish the importance of ardrey’s work and his wonderful writing style. 5 stars, no doubt.

“If we can’t think for ourselves, if we’re unwilling to question authority, then we’re just putty in the hands of those in power. But if they citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us.” -Carl Sagan

Customer Review: Ardrey’s book is an eye-opener for those willing to see
My book is the 1966 edition by Atheneum. The theme is devoted to the right of an animal to its territory, and expresses the interesting fact that the possessor is usually the victor if and when confronted with an intruder. After reading Ardrey’s work, I have watched with interest my 17 pound bundle of fluff, chase a much larger dog from our property. It was no contest. Just as the one knows his rights and the bounds within which they can be excercised, so too, does the other realize that, as an intruder, he has no right to contest that right. One needs to keep in mind that man is no less an animal than those studied by Ardrey who, although his writing is good, tends to be a bit tedious until he gets to the point of his discussion; namely, that man is no less territorial than lesser beasts. Within certain social groups this truth is more revelent than in others. Immigrants to the U.S. stake out their “turf,” as they say, and woe be to the trespasser, not a few of whom have been killed. Readers who take seriously what Ardrey reveals should be able to point to areas on earth where his thesis is in full bloom, and is the cause of considerable consternation and death. I would rate the book five-star were it not that it takes awhile for the casual reader to appreicate what is being written. It is a work which every Secretary of State should read and discuss with the President and membes of his cabinet before allowing the United States to become actively involved in national affairs, which is not to suggest that the U.S. should remain aloof from affairs that deal with decency and terrirotial righteousness.

The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State, in the Light of the Researches of Lewis H. Morgan Customer Review: Scientific analysis
Anthro major? You might be surprised how much and how many tools come from Engels, as in Marx and Engels of Capital fame. The same analytical tools they applied to economics (That are used every day) here are applied to anthropological study of the basis of our present day social institutions.
Relevant today, as much as for info as for seeing where the ideas discussed lead to the arguments and theories of today.

Customer Review: Making Money in Real Estate
This is one of the best real estate books that I have read. The reason is that it is a “follow the steps” book and works perfectly for beginners and would probably be equally as good for experienced investors.
Customer Review: The Insider’s Guide to Making Money in Real Estate: Smart Steps to Building Your Wealth Through Property
This Dolf de Roos book is no different from his other books, owning one is the same as owning all. Writes about same topics and ideas. Good author, trying to sell more books by using different titles.

If you don’t own any of his books, worth the $20 or so for the book. However, if you do…don’t waste your money/positive cash flow

Happy investing

Guide to Classifying Industrial Property Development and investment opportunities abound in the rapidly changing marketplace for industrial properties. You can take full advantage of these opportunities by understanding the key differences of each project type, identifying the most promising market niches, and creating customized solutions that meet the needs of today’s tenants. Going well beyond the usual broad warehouse, manufacturing, and flex categories, this ground-breaking book provides a thorough, detailed description of six major categories and twelve subcategories of industrial properties. Project types covered include: Regional, bulk, and rack-supported warehouses; Heavy and refrigerated distribution centers; Light and heavy manufacturing; Airport hangars and cargo facilities; Truck terminals; R&D flex buildings; Office showrooms; Multitenant buildings; Freight forwarding facilities; and Data switch centers. Coverage of each building type includes color illustrations, a description of the interior and exterior features, physical characteristics, tenants, and location qualities. Tables summarize key aspects such as size, ceiling heights, and ratio of dock doors to interior space buildout. Additional sections illustrate how each building type fits into the overall industrial sector by describing important locational factors and development patterns, investment performance, and the building’s relationship to the supply chain process. Maps illustrate location patterns in major markets.
Customer Review: not worth it
If you have any idea about what a warehouse is, this book is NOT for you. The book is written at an elementary level and provides very little insight into types of industrial facilities. I’ve been in real estate for 8 years and bought this book to further my understanding about industrial…it didn’t give me anything. Don’t waste your money.
