How to Develop and Manage a Successful Condominium

By: Adam Starchild

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.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.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 thinking about it, "How to Develop and Manage a Successful Condominium" is a must. It will help you avoid problems, minimize risks and maximize your profits.

Tax Planning for Foreign Investors in the United States

By: Adam Starchild

If you arenot a citizen or resident of the United States (U.S.) and you are contemplating either making or expanding an investment in the U .S., either for yourself as an individual or for a business, you arenot alone. The U.S. is the country of first choice for many foreign investors. This is due to the fact that the U.S. offers foreign investors many advantages, some ofwhich are in short supply in today's world. The primary advantage that the U.S. affords foreign investorsisthat it endorses the economic concept of free enterprise. While it is true that the Federal and state governments have interfered with the private economy to some extent, the prevailing economic philosophy in the U .S. remains laissez faire. History has taught the U.S. that the market place allocates the finite resources of a country betterthan the government, and the advantagesoftbis philosophy have not been overlooked by foreign investors. Another attractive feature of the U .S. as an investment site is its political stability. The present form of constitutional government has presided for over 200 years, and this history provides foreign investors with a measure of security which is absent elsewhere.

Tax Havens for International Business

By: Adam Starchild

Tax Havens for International Business is a special management report that shows how the establishment of a tax haven operation, in any of many locations worldwide, can save more money than any internal tax-shelter programme. This volume provides a comprehensive, step-by-step plan that simplifies the myriad complexities surrounding the formation and incorporation of branch offices and subsidiary companies within such tax havens as the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Greece, Hong Kong, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Switzerland. In addition, it presents detailed information on each tax haven's economic, legal, political, cultural and geographical aspects, which must be considered if such an enterprise is to operate successfully.

The History of Science Fiction

By: Adam Roberts

This book is the definitive critical history of science fiction. The 2006 first edition of this work traced the development of the genre from Ancient Greece and the European Reformation through to the end of the 20th century. This new 2nd edition has been revised thoroughly and very significantly expanded. An all-new final chapter discusses 21st-century science fiction, and there is new material in every chapter: a wealth of new readings and original research. The author’s groundbreaking thesis that science fiction is born out of the 17th-century Reformation is here bolstered with a wide range of new supporting material and many hundreds of 17th- and 18th-century science fiction texts, some of which have never been discussed before. The account of 19th-century science fiction has been expanded, and the various chapters tracing the twentieth-century bring in more writing by women, and science fiction in other media including cinema, TV, comics, fan-culture and other modes.

His articles have appeared in a wide range of publications around the world -- including Business Credit, Euromoney, Finance, The Financial Planner, International Living, Offshore Financial Review, Reason, Tax Planning International, The Bull & Bear, Trust & Estates, and many more. Now semi-retired, he was the president of an international consulting group specializing in banking, finance and the development of new businesses, and director of a trust company.

The Burning Dark

By: Adam Christopher

All is not well aboard the U-Star Coast City. The station's reclusive Commandant is nowhere to be seen, leaving Captain Abraham Idaho Cleveland to deal with a hostile crew on his own. Persistent malfunctions plague the station's systems while interference from a toxic purple star makes even ordinary communications problematic. Alien shadows and whispers seem to haunt the lonely corridors and airlocks, fraying the nerves of everyone aboard. Isolated and friendless, Cleveland reaches out to the universe via an old-fashioned space radio, only to tune in to a strange, enigmatic signal: a woman's voice that seems to echo across a thousand light-years of space. But is the transmission just a random bit of static from the past--or a warning of an undying menace beyond mortal comprehension?" --

David Fincher: Mind Games

By: Adam Nayman

David Fincher: Mind Games is the definitive critical and visual survey of the Academy Award– and Golden Globe–nominated works of director David Fincher. From feature films Alien 3, Se7en, The Game, Fight Club, Panic Room, Zodiac, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Social Network, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, and Mank through his MTV clips for Madonna and the Rolling Stones and the Netflix series House of Cards and Mindhunter, each chapter weaves production history with original critical analysis, as well as with behind the scenes photography, still-frames, and original illustrations from Little White Lies' international team of artists and graphic designers. Mind Games also features interviews with Fincher's frequent collaborators, including Jeff Cronenweth, Angus Wall, Laray Mayfield, Holt McCallany, Howard Shore and Erik Messerschmidt. Grouping Fincher's work around themes of procedure, imprisonment, paranoia, prestige and relationship dynamics, Mind Games is styled as an investigation into a filmmaker obsessed with investigation, and the design will shift to echo case files within a larger psychological profile.

Sci-Fi Art of the 1970s

Worlds Beyond Time

Sci-Fi Art of the 1970s

By: Adam Rowe

Worlds Beyond Time is the definitive visual history of the spaceships, alien landscapes, cryptozoology, and imagined industrial machinery of 1970s paperback sci-fi art and the artists who created these extraordinary images. In the 1970s, mass-produced, cheaply printed science-fiction novels were thriving. The paper was rough, the titles outrageous, and the cover art astounding. Over the course of the decade, a stable of talented painters, comic-book artists, and designers produced thousands of the most eye-catching book covers to ever grace bookstore shelves (or spinner racks). Curiously, the pieces commissioned for these covers often had very little to do with the contents of the books they were selling, but by leaning heavily on psychedelic imagery, far-out landscapes, and trippy surrealism, the art was able to satisfy the same space race–fueled appetite for the big ideas and brave new worlds that sci-fi writers were boldly pushing forward. In Worlds Beyond Time: Sci-Fi Art of the 1970s, Adam Rowe—who has been curating, championing, and resurrecting the best and most obscure art that 1970s sci-fi has to offer on his blog 70s Sci-Fi Art—introduces readers to the biggest names in the genre, including Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Tim White, Jack Gaughan, and Virgil Finlay, as well as their influences. With deep dives into the subject matter that commonly appeared on these covers—spaceships, alien landscapes, fantasy realms, cryptozoology, and heavy machinery—this book is a loving tribute to a unique and robust art form whose legacy lives on both in nostalgic appreciation as well as the retro-chic design of mainstream sci-fi films such as Guardians of the Galaxy, Alien: Covenant, and Thor: Ragnarok. Includes Color Illustrations

The Ocean Frontier

By: Adam Starchild

These are ideas that sound like they were snipped from the scenario of one of the new breed of high-tech science-fiction films: A quiet residential neighborhood of homes, shops, and tree-lined open spaces is towed into place and linked up to a town floating off the coast. A community college is lowered onto caissons in the harbor. An entire petrochemical production complex, including apartments and recreational facilities for its workers, an airstrip, and a small shopping area, is erected on a platform floating in the middle of the sea. The structural and engineering technique for such grandiose ventures is already a reality. So are the economic, social, and regulatory pressures which may soon make the use of floating platforms and artificial islands a necessity for urban and industrial expansion. The oceans hold out an exciting challenge, for we are beginning our exploitation of the ocean's fabulous riches with a consciousness of the need for conservation and environmental protection. As pragmatic as such a program may appear, its most important and long-reaching benefits will surely be socio-psychological rather than simply economic. When in history has a people who have staked out a claim or wrested a living from the virgin wilderness feared the future or become an indolent or dependent people? The answer is never: It is only when there are no frontiers to cross that initiative and the courage to face real choices vanishes. Adam Starchild is the author of numerous business books, editor of an anthology of Russian science fiction, a member of the Extropy Institute, and a life member of the Lighter-Than-Air Society, the World Future Society and the Libertarian Futurist Society.

The Family Emergency Manual

By: Adam Starchild

When most people think of emergencies, they think of the typical kinds: accidents, medical conditions, power outages, and the like. There are, of course, many other kinds. Most individuals seldom consider the possibility of a financial emergency, the terror of being caught in a killer storm or flood, or the horror of a terrorist bombing. For most of us, the emergencies we experience are relatively common to the overall population. Most of us never experience a major disaster. Indeed the closest most of us ever come to a widespread catastrophe is the news reported by the media.It makes fundamental sense to prepare for emergencies. Intelligent people plan for their retirements well in advance. They don?t want unhappy surprises in their golden years. Yet, many of these same individuals have no clear investment strategy. They may have put ?all their investment eggs in one basket,? because that seems to be the easiest way to manage their accounts. Most individuals have no plan should a killer storm strike tomorrow. Even when they do, it is likely to be terribly inadequate. Most people would not know what to do if a family member suddenly suffered a stroke. Many would not even be able to recognize the symptoms and they would lose precious time in getting the victim the proper care. Ask people if they believe emergency planning is important, and most will answer without hesitation that it is. Yet, most of these individuals will have done very little preparation.It is the purpose of this manual to provide the basics for managing emergencies. The manual is divided into three parts:Part I, ?Coping with Financial Emergencies?Part II, ?Coping with Natural Emergencies?Part III, ?Coping with Human-Caused Emergencies?While federal, state, and local governments maintain emergency plans to alleviate the effects of disasters, such plans hardly ever are adequate. Moreover, they are unlikely to address the needs of all the people affected by a catastrophe. It therefore remains the responsibility of the individual to plan effectively for any emergency that might threaten him or his family in any way. This includes financial, natural, and human-caused threats.

I have been here on earth now four thousand plus earth years. The year is 2048 and over 100 years ago, your world ended its second world war by dropping a nuclear bomb on August 6, 1945. Your last nuclear drop in 2036, which nearly destroyed mankind as you know it, has brought me and mankind to this time of destruction and a time to renew. The good in man has proven to be that which overcomes his desire to conquer all that he sees. Let me introduce myself. My name is Josiah and I come from another world, much like yours. In our fleshly form, we lived as you do, but in another dimension. At some time during our turbulent past, we destroyed our own world...
