Seventy-percent of all projects end over budget and late. The buildingSMART Alliance estimates that up to fifty-percent of the process is consumed in waste.

In this volume he tells the story of the inhabitants of the \"Valley of Content,\" the High Plains section of the Arkansas River Valley, during the formative period of settlement and development. It was their desire for growth, he maintains, that spurred the construction of the very dams, reservoirs, and water conveyance structures that would ultimately undermine their success.

Littlefield embraces environmental, legal, and social history to offer clear analyses of appropriation and riparian water rights doctrines, along with lucid accounts of court cases and laws. Examining events that led up to the 1904 settlement among U.S. and Mexican communities and the formation of the Rio Grande Compact in 1938, Littlefield describes how communities grappled over water issues as much with one another as with governmental authorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eConflict on the Rio Grande\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the transformation of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century law, traces changing attitudes about the role of government, and examines the ways these changes affected the use and eventual protection of natural resources.

Particularly along the coasts, housing remains extremely expensive. In Rethinking Federal Housing Policy: How to Make Housing Plentiful and Affordable, Edward L. Glaeser and Joseph Gyourko explain why housing is so expensive in some areas and outline a plan for making it more affordable. Policymakers must recognize that conditions differ across housing markets, so housing policies need to reflect those differences. The poor and the middle class do not struggle with the same affordability issues, so housing policy needs to address each problem differently. The poor cannot afford housing simply because their incomes are low; the solution to that problem is direct income transfers to the poor, rather than interference with the housing market. In contrast, housing is unaffordable for the middle class because of local zoning restrictions on new home construction that limit the supply of suitable housing. The federal government can sensibly address this issue by providing incentives for local governments in these markets to allow more construction. Ironically, current subsidies for construction of low-income housing only tie impoverished Americans to areas where they have limited job prospects. These supply subsidies also crowd out private-sector construction and benefit politically-connected developers. Mortgage interest deductions, which are intended to make housing more affordable for the middle class, simply allow families who can already afford a house to purchase a bigger one. In restricted, affluent markets, these deductions increase the amount families can pay for a house, driving up prices even higher. Glaeser and Gyourko propose a comprehensive overhaul of federal housing policy that takes into account local regulations and economic conditions. Reform of the home mortgage interest deduction would provide incentives to local governments to allow the market to provide more housing, preventing un\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdward L.

Low on resources, time and energy, she accidentally discovered that park ownership was the best possible investment for immediate returns and passive income. By reinvesting and managing her own 300] rentals over the next 22 years, Cochran paid herself instead of paying a manager. She solved a number of landlord problems, such as eliminating rents \"lost in the mail\" by establishing a direct deposit system for tenants who would then get a date-stamped receipt from the bank, and Cochran could watch the rents get paid remotely from any where in the world. These are just a few of the detailed tips she shares with the New Investor buying a Mobile Home Park or RV Trailer Park for the first time. Step by step instructions walk the investor through the 25-Chapter process of researching, securing, and managing a profitable Mobile Home Park or RV Trailer Park investment. Cochran believes a park investment is the best spent money in any economy, providing passive, life-long income while protecting the initial investment dollars of the investor while the park appreciates in value, and the income increases via rent raises and possibly pass-through utility billings. Most often, investors only need ONE park. The secret is to finding the best park that fits the financial needs and goals of that investor. Mobile Home Parks are a lucrative investment, largely unique to the United States, which is why parks are now attracting investors from around the world.

Their profits are being redirected toward reducing the federal deficit, which leaves them with no buffer should they suffer losses again.

If you've read my book, \u003ci\u003eThe Due Diligence Handbook For Commercial Real Estate\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\" \u003cbr\u003eThe 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. \u003cbr\u003eFor 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.\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Yajna Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50331897266450,"sku":"9780998616308","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_fe1846b6-e884-4f74-89c3-7cdbecbac048.jpg?v=1727827504"},{"product_id":"the-residential-agents-handbook-for-commercial-real-estate-create-another-revenue-stream-from-your-current-client-base-and-attract-new-clients-by-he-9780998616339","title":"The Residential Agent's Handbook for Commercial Real Estate: Create Another Revenue Stream from Your Current Client Base and Attract New Clients by He","description":"\u003cb\u003eCreate another revenue stream from your current client base and attract new clients by helping them with their commercial real estate needs. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe biggest trend in the commercial real estate brokerage business in the past decade is the number of residential agents involved with commercial transactions.
