Lease

This is an awesome book for those who want to understand mining agreements, their purpose and functionality. It gives you a broad knowledge about political and legal issues related to each contract scheme. As a tax practitioner, I've been able to understand the reasons beyond the mere political issues related to mining taxation.

Professor Wilson's book is an incredible study of history and provides a unique insight into the experiences of Irish immigrants.

I moved to New York City a year ago, but didn't have this book. How I wish I did...

This city is a lot of fun, but is also demanding in many ways. Understanding your rights as a tenant is one of those "know it or suffer the consequences" issues every NYC renter faces.

I found this book to be a great resource, even with the recent modifications in state and city laws. It is well laid out and explains the sometimes dry issues of tenants' rights in a very readable manner. Unlike several of the other tenants' rights books out there, this book had a well constructed index that brought me straight to the answers I was seeking.

Be proactive, buy this book!

I purchased this book several years ago after I purchased a 10-unit apartment building which I subsequently managed myself. I also do my own taxes. I found the book to be in invaluable resource guide. The ONLY book of it's kind (I probably have 20 on my shelf). Holmes shares his experience with IRS audits of property owners. He knows the tax code inside and out and the best ways a property owner can utilize it to their advantage (legally and above board, no slick marketing, just examples of what works).

Holmes skips the hype that almost every real estate investing book seems to love pitching. He has invested in real estate himself and has done taxes for hundreds of customers. He shares specific information about each form, how the IRS views the information (ie tips on avoiding an audit) and gives very detailed examples of Schedule E, Depreciation calculation, vacation homes and other topics.

There's an excellent section on 1031 exchange which I'm re-reading. He answers questions about state taxation issues and gives a detailed example of how California's aggressive tax stance on property sold within it's borders can be avoided by using a 1031 exchange into another state. This chapter gives a step by step calculation of how to calculate the deferred capital gain in an exchange, something I looked for on the web to no avail. It's also not in the IRC.

This book continues to provide me with answers I can't seem to locate anywhere else. A must purchase for small rental real estate property owners.

This author has the most profound understanding of tenants right I have ever encountered. A must buy for all renters. I admire this man and his wisdom. This is genius.

For the price, this is the best lease option book I found. It covers "you" buying a lease option and "you" selling with a lease option. It explains what to do and what not to do and why. Additionally, the book includes all the forms you need to do your deals and protect your interest in the property. I did a lot of research on lease options before I bought this book, and they covered everything that I discovered and then some.

This book is brilliant! This book is broken down into the major points of contract law. Each subject is broken down into the elements. It explains everything from formation of contracts, breach, performance, mistake, estoppel, parol evidence, statute of frauds and so forth. It is easy to read and has all annotations to caselaw and the UCC in easy to read footnotes at the bottom of the page. In additon, William Henning (one of the authors) is on the drafting committe for Article 2. This book is worth it for the section on the parol evidence rule alone! It helped me ace my first year contract exams.

The book gives a comprehensive review of the research that has been done about dividends. A great place to start your own research.

This book takes a very in depth view from an analytic standpoint as well as a practical standpoint. The conditions of a Perfect Capital Market are explored and then the realities of today's markets are evaluated with regard to dividend policy. It turns out dividend policy does matter - perhaps that doesn't surprise you but now there is better evidence to support the claims.

Being the owner of a few pieces of property in N.Y.City whose courts are pro tenant this book is must reading for the landlord.Mary Ann HAllenborg has compiled clear concise information of how to manage property in a very over regulated city.Without legal mumbo jumbo the author covers everything from choosing a tenant,complying with rent stabilization and rent control laws to legally terminating a tenancy.An up to date guide of very useful information I highly recommend it!

As a beginner starting out in the rental business, this book was the most helpful that i have found. It is very thorough, but incredibly well organized and easy to use. The forms section and included CD ROM really give you everything you need to get started. Of course you will want to alter them a bit and make them more suitable for your specific situation, but doing so is quick and easy. A friend of mine who has been in the landlording business for quite a while actually rushed out and bought a copy of his own after viewing mine. Truly a great book!

If you assume that the very worst of "trite navel-gazing as 'edgy' contemporary poetry," perished in the 1980's, or if you think that self-indulgent dinosaurs like Robert Bly have gone the way of Edsels, you obviously have not read "Human Rights". Joseph Lease's collection of poems reminds the reader that for every fabulous book of poetry published in North America, there are 1000 books like his--products of the workshop industrial complex. It is apparent that the poet takes himself very seriously and demands that the reader do the same. But since the book lacks intellectual rigor, and its language is hackneyed, its conceits dull, "Human Rights" does not earn the "right" to be taken seriously. A really lousy and pretentious read (although the pretentiousness has unintentional hilarity).

Smart, funny, musical, masterfully crafted: this is exactly the kind of work that real readers long for. Finally, a book of poems that doesn't feel like it just plopped out of the workshop mill, that doesn't rigidly adhere to one or another literary "school," that doesn't gaze relentlessly at the author's navel, that doesn't play to its audience's dumbest impulses, that explores politics and history and spirituality and erotic life as well as other human "rites," that makes readers so deeply deeply *glad* to be readers of poetry. Rich and expansive, this is a book to explore over and over and over again.

Human Rights, the new Zoland book by the poet Joseph Lease, is a wonderful, resonant book. He powerfully weaves verse forms and blocks of prose, themes political and personal into a larger humane tapestry of meaning and imagination. There are no false steps in this book. Joseph Lease's lines quiver with power, and the reader can feel them hours later, still shaking, like an aftershock. His voice is as immediate as any we have.
