How to Develop and Manage a Successful Condominium

All over the country, the demand for housing is rapidly outpacing the supply.  Rental buildings are filling up and prices are skyrocketing.  One result of this situation is a relatively new real estate phenomenon: the condominium.  The past few years have seen an unprecedented boom in this unique form of property ownership.  The condominium dweller gains equity in his residence, enjoys substantial tax advantages, and has a degree of freedom and flexibility denied him in a rental apartment.  How can you get in on this boom?  You can, of course, simply buy yourself a condominium unit with the expectation of reselling it later at a higher price.  Or you can cash in on the phenomenon in an even bigger way: by becoming a condominium entrepreneur.  You'll find all the information and advice you need to get started in How to Develop and Manage a Successful Condominium.  Why are condominiums so appealing to the entrepreneur and investor? Here's one reason: an apartment building returns a fixed percentage of the original capital over a period of 20 or more years.  The condominium developer, on the other hand, gets his capital back literally as fast as he sells the units!  Contrary to what you might assume, a condominium doesn't have to be a multi-million dollar high-rise.  An apartment building with just ten units can be a condominium.  So can a group of detached one-family homes.  Condominium use can be either residential or commercial — or a combination of the two.  Medical offices, shopping centers, vacation homes — all these and more are amenable to the condominium concept.  Financing can be surprisingly easy.  Because of the demand, and the short-term nature of the investment, lenders are more receptive to condominium development than to most other new business ventures.  Yet despite the tremendous opportunities in condominiums, there was for a long time no authoritative source of information on the subject. Sure, there are plenty of books on how to buy a condominium unit.  But almost nothing for the entrepreneur who wants to break into this exciting and lucrative investment area.  To fill that gap, Adam Starchild has written How to Develop and Manage a Successful Condominium.  Step by step, this pathbreaking manual guides you through the entire financial, legal and managerial process. It's by far the clearest, simplest, most accurate and up-to-date text on the subject ever written.  What's inside this unusual new book.  Here's a preview of what you find in How to Develop and Manage a Successful Condominium:  * Pre-development factors: demographics, location, price, neighborhood, zoning requirements, market testing. * Federal and state legislation: laws and regulations you must know about. * Financing: loans, mortgages, government insurance. * New variations: adjoining condominiums, homeowner associations, low-income projects. * Management and budget: (When the building is completed, you can either manage it yourself or turn management responsibility over to an outside firm.) * The Condominium Entrepreneur's Bibliography: the most complete directory of condominium reference sources ever compiled.  Save a small fortune in legal fees!  Best of all, each chapter of How to Develop and Manage a Successful Condominium is filled with legal forms and documents you can use: master deed, enabling declaration, subscription and purchase agreement, by-laws, management agreement, operating budget.  Federal and state laws require you to follow very specific procedures in developing and marketing a condominium.  If you're not aware of all the legal requirements, you may wind up in trouble.  Yet the condominium concept is so new that many people are mystified about exactly what they must do.  That's why the forms in this book are so valuable.  They'll leave no doubt in your mind as to the proper legal steps to follow.  A good real estate attorney charges $50 to $200 per hour for his time. This book won't take his place.  But it will save your attorney many hours of work — and thereby save you a ton of money.  All the forms meet FHA and other Federal specifications.  And they will easily accommodate the requirements of your state and city.  These model forms alone — all together in one handy place — will prove to be worth many times the low price of the book!  How to Develop and Manage a Successful Condominium is fully indexed for ease of reference.  Are you ready to start cashing in on the condominium phenomenon?  Even if you're just thinkingabout it, How to Develop and Manage a Successful Condominium is a must.  It will help you avoid problems, minimize risks and maximize your profits.

The object of this volume, which deals with the period 1770-1830, is to trace the rise of The House of Rothschild from its small beginnings to the great position it attained, culminating in the year of its great crisis. The House of Rothschild, as will be readily understood, did not throw open its archives to the author's inspection, for it is particularly careful in guarding its more important business secrets. But this was not entirely without its advantage, for it left the Count Corti completely free from political considerations and uninfluenced by racial, national, and religious predilections or antipathies. The Count was enabled to begin an independent historical research into the part played by this House in the nineteenth century, which was known to be far more important than was commonly thought. The general scheme of this work was built upon facts alone, in a practical way such as will help us to form our own judgment on individuals and the part they played in world events.

The story of tobacco, development of southern and Canadian waterpower and the creation of a university. 
“America has many merchant princes and captains of industry, but only three industrial kings: John D. Rockefeller in Oil, Andrew Carnegie in Steel, and James B. Duke in Tobacco," a financial writer recorded in Leslie's Weekly many years ago. That was the judgment of others, in and out of Wall Street. Opinions may differ as to relative rank, but certainly no men ever occupied more commanding position in their respective branches of the nation 's business. And it is significant that, in time, these three became America's foremost philanthropists.

Many hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life seed to work and live in the US every year and most of them fail in their attempt because they do not have the necessary information. Armed with the proper information and an informed knowledge of the basic procedures many of these people would have been successful. The US immigration laws are extremely complex and this guide presents them in a form that is easy to understand, along with the author’s thirty years of experience on how to best exploit the loopholes and angles that the law provides. From the information contained here it is possible to determine the best approach and means of entry. America is still the easiest country in which a person without money can make their fortune, but the highly coveted Green Card (the US permanent resident visa) is not always the best way to get in. Starchild shows the many other types of visas that are available, and often much easier to obtain, as well as all the angles on getting a Green Card. He then shows you the angles to reduce or avoid taxes once you are in, and how to collect a pension from the US government even though you have had only a short stay in the US. No other guide has attempted to cover this subject in such depth and it is written in easy to understand language. Now you can get ready to pack your bags and head for the future you have always dreamed of. With the information contained in this guide it is all now possible.

Reference

This publication provides an overview of the importing process and contains general information about import requirements. This edition contains much new and revised material brought about because of changes in the law, particularly the Customs Modernization Act. The Customs modernization provisions has fundamentally altered the process by shifting to the importer the legal responsibility for declaring the value, classification, and rate of duty applicable to entered merchandise. Chapters cover entry of goods, informed compliance, invoices, assessment of duty, classification and value, marking, special requirements for alcoholic beverages, motor vehicles and boats, import quotas, fraud, and foreign trade zones.

This is volume one of a three volume set. 
The Shore Protection Manual is in three volumes. Volume I describes the physical environment in the coastal zone starting with an introduction of coastal engineering, continuing with discussions of mechanics of wave motion, wave and water level predictions, and finally littoral processes. 
Volume II translates the interaction of the physical environment and coastal structures into design parameters for use in the solution of coastal engineering problems. It discusses planning, analysis, structural features, and structural design as related to physical factors, and shows an example of a coastal engineering problem which utilizes the technical content of material presented in all three volumes. 
Volume III contains four appendixes including a glossary of coastal engineering terms, a list of symbols, tables and plates, and a subject index.
