What A Ride! Fun Read!
In this second adventure of Merryvale it appears that Sarah and Lorelei, our 12-year old main characters,have lost their memory.They no longer know who each other is and their minds are being taken over by the evil Quashnik who wants to rule Merryvale with his evil power.The adventure begins.

As with the first adventure of this series we are taken to the magical land of Merryvale where nothing is as it should be, or is it?After reading the first book I was ready for the upside down world that I was going to be taken to, and I was not disappointed.With the help of Merryvale, the person, not the place, and of course our flying horses Lorelei and Sarah battle for their existence and the existence of Merryvale.I really liked this second story, it was fun to see the evil Quashnik and watch how he was outwitted. There was adventure and suspense, evil versus good, and the importance of confidence and friendship.Great series, not the norm - how refreshing is that. Recommended.

Product Description
You are about to learn the true secret of real estate investing real estate options. WHO really makes money in Real Estate? Realtors, sellers, appraisers, the bank, brokers, mortgage brokers, closing companies, attorneys, taxing authorities, and lastly perhaps you the investor who takes all the risk and does all the work, while having to evict tenants and clean up their mess after they ve left. But there is a new, unique and innovative method of investing in real estate. A Real Estate Option gives you control of a piece of real estate without actually purchasing it. By having an option on a piece of property, you have the exclusive right to buy that property or not. A real estate option is simply a contract between the seller and buyer giving you the legal right not obligation to buy the property at a set price for a predetermined time. When you find a buyer for the property, you cash in your option and deposit a large check. Most real estate investment methods require you to sink a lot of your money, time, and effort into your investments. And it is a slow process, usually one property at a time, often part-time. Using an option instead of purchasing means you do not have to deal with rental property, tenants, maintenance and repairs, taxes, mortgage payments, commissions, or closing costs. In this new book you will learn how to control a vast real estate portfolio without ever buying the property. Let the owner keep paying the mortgage, dealing with tenants and all of the costs. You zero in on the profits. Here is an example, you locate a duplex worth $400,000, you purchase an option to buy it for $340,000 anytime within the next 120 days. On Day 60, you find a buyer who will pay the full $400,000., you activate the option, pay the seller $340,000, and pocket $60,000. This is a simplified example, but this new book details how to become a highly successful real estate option buyer, and it demonstrates step-by-step how to get started in this highly rewarding investment strategy. ...

Bad Title with OK Advice
After reading this book, I gave it a low rating for two reasons. The first is that the title is misleading. I expected a book titled "The Complete Guide to Real Estate Options" to have at least 70% of its total content focused on matters of the title "Real Estate Options". I was very disappointed to discover this book full of decent advice and instruction for the person thinking of investing having never purchased an investment property. In fact, only pages 13-17, 27-30 and 175-183 are specific to lease options. The rest of the book covers general financial common sense advice that may be good for the inexperienced investor but not for an experienced investor looking for advanced investment strategies like options. The second reason for only 2 stars was that the book suggested hiring tenants to perform property upkeep / maintenance functions. I have tried this and know from experience that tenants should be discouraged from performing any work or maintenance on your usually expensive investment. This is potentially costly bad advice. But to this author' credit, pages 265 and 266 are resource pages that list several other books that are specific to Real Estate Options. How to Make Money With Real Estate Options: Low-Cost, Low-Risk, High-Profit Strategies for Controlling Undervalued Property....Without the Burdens of Ownership!

Easy-to-digest information packs this guide
For those who have the drive to make money in the complex world of real estate investing, Steven D. Fisher's "The Complete Guide to Real Estate Options, What Smart Investors Need to Know --Explained Simply," is a useful guide for the journey. Throughout the book's 288 pages, Fisher walks interested investors through the process, explaining it in rich detail, accented by bullet points and screened text boxes.

If you're unfamiliar with the options process, in a nutshell, it provides a means to produce an income steam without the high amounts of money that property buying and selling require. Options can be undertaken as a part-time or full-time endeavor and by both beginning and long-time investors.

One of the best parts of this book is its clear writing, outlining everything in a step-by-step process. It's as if a friend who has knowledge in this field was sitting next to you, explaining the subject, but without going off on tangents.

Fisher is clear that this investment route is not for everyone. It takes a highly motivated self-starter, akin to a salesperson or entrepreneur, to succeed. Fisher also is a major believer of research, such as completely examining a property's history. As he puts it: "Lease options are a great way to build income and future wealth as long as a person is knowledgeable and performs due diligence."

The book also provides handy tools, such as sample letters, to permit investors to get under way. One section, which deals with how to find and keep good renters, and what to do about problems renters, is particularly useful for any landlord. Fisher also has helpful information on organization and office procedures, such as obtaining the right property management software.

The sole shortfall with this otherwise highly informative book is the lack of data provided in dealing with any unfortunate losses. Fisher is great at speculating what one's potential profits are, and how to realize them, but as any savvy investor knows, losses are as much a part of the game -- especially in today's volatile real estate market -- as profits are.

One simply cannot assume property values will increase, or be problem-free. Had Fisher spent a bit more effort in this area, other that a brief mention of it, his book would have been much improved. Aside from that oversight, however, "Real Estate Options" packs a powerful informational punch to set investors on the road to success.

Very Informative
The Complete Guide to Real Estate Options (what smart investors need to know - explained simply) by Steven D. Fisher is a truly holistic and complete look at real estate lease option in a detailed, well-ordered format. Mr. Fisher does an excellent, forthright job of explaining the lease market in terms that even a novice can grasp.

The best part about the book is that it emphasizes everything the reader needs to be aware of, especially knowing themselves. The importance of attitude, perseverance, research and even ethical considerations get tackled in a no-nonsense manner, including pointing out personality traits that make for less-than-successful adventure into leasing. Additionally Mr. Fisher doesn't leave the reader hanging after they've entered the lease market. He goes on to provide concrete advice for everything from property improvements to finding good tenants. My rating 4 Stars.

A helpful guide to lease options
The contemporary real estate market has left a wake of uncertainty in the minds of many investors.Though risk is inherent in any investment decision, the real estate market reflects real-world conditions as well as individual perception of market conditions.

The Complete Guide to Real Estate Options: What Smart Investors Need to Know - Explained Simply is a non-nonsense guide to a specific type of real estate transaction:the real estate lease option.As explained by Steven Fisher, the book's author, the lease option is a lower-risk approach.As contrasted against the real estate purchase option, the lease option requires less money and limits exposure to the risks associated with property ownership.

The Complete Guide offers strategies for researching, marketing and developing the necessary attributes to become a successful entrepreneurial investor. It also gives templates for sample letters and exercises that help build the skills required to build your own real estate business.The Complete Guide is a must for anyone interested in being successful in today's real estate market.It is a practical read as well as a handy reference for lease option investing. An added benefit: the publisher is donating a portion of their profits to the Humane Society, on behalf of the passing of their beloved office canine, Bear.

A Handy Guide
If you've been tempted to invest in real estate but the jargon, the paperwork and the cost seem a little scary, pick up a copy of Steven D. Fisher's handy book. This well-written volume offers a clear and concise picture of some of the basic tools you'll need to gain a foothold in the field. Whether your goal is to purchase just one investment property or create a massive portfolio, Fisher offers an understandable, common-sense approach to buying real estate.

He begins by explaining both the advantages and disadvantages of real estate lease options, a method that allows potential buyers to invest only a fraction of their funds in a property. The examples provided by the author allow beginners to visualize how the process works. One of his most valuable chapters offers readers the opportunity to create their own "action plan," which outlines all the goals they seek to accomplish. Planning is key, Fisher advises, along with a positive attitude and the willingness to learn more about changes in the real estate market. Don't overlook basics like knowing your financial limitations and credit rating before you attempt to invest.

But, Fisher does more than walk the reader to the front door of that new property. Once your purchase is complete, he takes you inside by explaining how to work with repairmen, how to find good tenants, and also provides an inside look at relevant matters such as taxes and maintaining your property. So, whether you're a newcomer to the field or someone who wants to brush up on investment techniques, let this clearly-written practical handbook be your guide.

From the supplier: Double entry accounting, or the concept of debits and credits, remains relevant in time of computerized accounting system. Software developers still must have the knowledge of double accounting and the traditional systems to be able to gather, analyze and present financial information. Aside from providing a basic knowledge foundation, double entry accounting also serves as a natural representation of business events. Moreover, examinations for future accountants still include the concepts of double entry accounting.

Product Description
Notes & Grace Notes and Grace Notes Books presents Notes Magazine; a lively publication including personal essays, innovative fiction, poetry, comics, and regular columns including film and book reviews, social commentary, and humor.It has been said that "the hallmark of contemporary literature is an avoidance of plot and character." And we wonder why people don't read so much anymore? We wonder why the only people enjoying short stories and poetry are those who are writing them?Notes Magazine is taking a big step (a leap, really) away from that line of thinking. Notes seeks to celebrate authors who write about life (in any and all facets) and do so with a strong sense of writing about 'something' without taking a step over the line into what some would call "genre stories". Welcome to the slipstream; a magazine with broad appeal to both 'literary' minds and avid 'mainstream' readers alike.A literary magazine designed and marketed as a general interest magazine?! Yes, Notes is the anti-literary magazine!Accessible, lively, often fun, yet meaningful-- IDEAS. ... Read more

True Humor
Lamb is a wonderfully imaginative story filling in the years of Joshua's life prior to the Biblical years. If you can laugh at life and you enjoy a good read, this is a great book.I have many religious friends including 2 priests and 2 pastors.They have all listened to this book and enjoyed the humor.At the same time, this book makes you think about Jesus' life as a child.

If you take the Bible seriously enough to not allow yourself to laugh at someone creating a funny story about how Jesus got some of his lessons (Biff's father is a stone mason and tells Jesus that building a house on sand is a very bad idea) don't read this.If you can allow yourself the imagination and grace to permit a story where Jesus has brothers and a friend who gets into trouble, yet would do anything for Him, then this is a story for you!Everyone I know who has read this book has a new respect for the Bible stories.

I honestly believe God has a sense of humor - and that He enjoys this book!!!!
