A History of Interest Rates presents a very readable account of interest rate trends and lending practices over four millennia of economic history. Despite the paucity of data prior to the Industrial Revolution, authors Homer and Sylla provide a highly detailed analysis of money markets and borrowing practices in major economies. Underlying the analysis is their assertion that “the free market long-term rates of interest for any industrial nation, properly charted, provide a sort of fever chart of the economic and political health of that nation.” Given the enormous volatility of rates in the 20th century, this implies we’re living in age of political and economic excesses that are reflected in massive interest rate swings. Gain more insight into this assertion by ordering a copy of this book today.

How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business is the most up-to-date, thorough analysis of how to start and grow a foreclosure cleanup business in 2011-2012 and beyond.

A foreclosure cleanup business is responsible for primarily the cleaning, clearing and maintenance of properties that have been foreclosed upon. Services offered by these enterprises involve interior and exterior repair and maintenance, ranging from debris removal, boarding of windows and doors, changing locks, inspections, painting, and more. The foreclosure cleanup industry is growing as a result of the astronomical number of foreclosures on the market today.

Though often termed “property preservation companies,” foreclosure cleanup companies are actually different in that they are generally smaller contractors that work as arms of larger property preservation companies. The larger property preservation companies, in most scenarios, work directly with HUD (the Department of Housing and Urban Development). Increasingly, the larger companies are relying on the services of smaller foreclosure cleanup companies, who act as foot soldiers in the management, cleanup, and repair of properties in pre-foreclosure and foreclosure states.

How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business includes the following topics: Business start-up, licensing, insurance, pricing, marketing, HUD subcontracting resources, start-up sample forms, copies of actual bids, and much more. Readers get detailed direction on niche marketing, working with larger contractors, choosing helpers, licensing and insurance, uniforms, equipment and supply purchasing versus renting, and other necessary information to help them start and grow a successful foreclosure cleanup enterprise in 2011 and beyond.

Further, readers receive a detailed look at several foreclosure cleanup bids won and jobs completed, with a step-by-step analysis of how each job unfolded. (All information is from the first-hand account of an Atlanta-based foreclosure cleanup business owner.)

The author is a realtor, real estate contractor, investor, and foreclosure cleanup business owner. As a result, readers learn crucial start-up tactics from a real estate professional with pointed experience in several real estate industry capacities.

How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business is unique in that it provides a detailed perspective on starting and growing a foreclosure cleanup business from a seasoned professional who has successfully worked on many levels in the real estate industry.

Short Story

Genre: Near Future Science Fantasy

In this short story from the author of Bleedover, a repo agent’s job is difficult, especially when he has to retrieve living characters from film and literature who have bledover into reality. Some of these, like the slasher antagonist Harvey, are a disaster waiting to happen.

Excerpt: Deep inside Catskill State Park, Curve Johnson withdrew his 0.30-06 Springfield bolt-action rifle from his canvas bag and crept forward to a fallen hardwood. In the coolness of the early morning sunlight he calmed himself and wrapped his arm around the strap.

He had only hunted twice in his life but had never killed anything. Hated all the waiting around. He looked at the magazine again. It held eight rounds painted with a fast-acting tranquilizer (so a chem. junky had told him).

On a regular man, the tranquilizer would be overkill; on a freak like Harvey … he hoped his dealer had sold him something strong enough.Short Story
