The Real Estate Game is a comprehensive guide to successful real estate investment from one of the masters in the field. Drawing upon four decades of experience developing, owning, and managing properties and on almost thirty years of teaching at the Harvard Business School, William J. Poorvu offers an insider's perspective on how to make smart decisions about real estate.

The real estate "game" is played by people, and it's the stories of real people that make Poorvu's introduction to the industry colorful and interesting. You will meet players ranging from real estate moguls to small-scale developers to individual investors in exotic investment instruments. Their stories evolve throughout the book and illustrate how these people--with all their complicated needs, talents, and motives--fit into the larger process and context.

In clear and nontechnical language, Poorvu explains how variables--players, properties, capital markets, and the external environment--come together to influence the shape and outcome of a real estate deal. He explains the time frame for different kinds of real estate investments and walks the reader through the key "periods of play" in the real estate game: concept, commitment, development, operation, reward, and reinvestment.

The Real Estate Game introduces a simple but powerful "back-of-the-envelope" technique for analyzing the financial implications of a potential deal. Using this tool and others, Poorvu shows readers how to use direct investments, syndicates, and REITs to get into the real estate game across a broad range of property types: residential, office, hotel, industrial, and retail.

Offering unique insight into the ways that developers and investors can create value, The Real Estate Game is both a perfect introduction for the novice and an invaluable overview for the experienced professional.

Recently Learned I Was In Early Stage Dementia
Format: Paperback
As my hubby and I had read Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages and it was helpful to us, when I saw this book I couldn't resist. He writes a very thorough book about a husband and wife facing this dreaded condition. He gives suggestions on how to lovingly handle many of the irritating, annoying, not so nice and some dreaded situations that may be a problem between a husband and wife , by using examples of couples that have gone through these situations and how they handled it. And also gave his opinion on things that were done lovingly by the spouse who chooses to be the caretaker, or how it could've ended in a kinder, more loving, less detrimental way. I would recommend this book to ALL couples facing this disease that no one wants, and for all couples who wish to end the marriage on a better note v.s. exhaustion and relief ,when the affected spouse that has this diagnoses, finally passes.

Seems high quality, makes a good treat.
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It's expensive, and I won't buy again most likely as I use Honest Kitchen Fish Wolfskin large chews daily to keep my dogs teeth clean (saves thousands on dentals at the vet) however, my dogs love this treat and gobble it up when offered. I was hoping it would last longer and work as teeth cleaners like the wolfskin fish chews do. Nevertheless it's a high quality food treat, and maybe I will buy again just for the occasional treat. I don't give my dogs a lot of treats much to their chagrin, but they are also not overweight either. It's not fattening and has no carbohydrates and it's not ultra-processed. I would recommend this as a treat.

Perfect chew for small dogs
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
These turkey tendons are the perfect treat/chew for smaller dogs and puppies. I like that there is zero odor compared to other natural treats (looking at you smelly bully sticks). It's perfect for small dogs and older dogs that aren't aggressive chewers anymore. I love that they are all natural and not too difficult to chew for my older dog. She loves them, I love them.
