Excerpt: 312 Games, 443 Goals John Raymond Dyer senior OAM (13 November 1913 23 August 2003) (Richmond supporters favourite player), always known as Jack Dyer, was one of the colossal figures of Australian rules football during two distinct careers, firstly as an outstanding player and coach of the Richmond Football Club in the Victorian Football League between 1931 and 1952, and later in the broadcast media for more than four decades. During his lengthy career, he came to symbolise not just the Richmond club but the entire working class area of Richmond during the privations of the Great Depression and World War II. His genial nature shone through in his media work, which he began after resigning from the coaching position at Richmond. Dyer, along with ex-Collingwood captain Lou Richards, became a pioneer of television commentating on Australian football after the medium was introduced to the country in 1956.

Product Description
In recent years, stock market investing has been proven unstable and not very rewarding. In fact, many people have seen their retirement and personal holding accounts dwindle. This new book provides an alternate to investors. It provides detailed information on how to put money to work in a relatively safe private mortgage investment with a high return of 12 to 15 percent (or more) in most cases. Private mortgages have grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry. This market allows investors to earn substantially higher yields—while offering the security of real property to back the loan. Private mortgages have become an important fixed income vehicle for many investors with their personal funds, equity, and self-directed IRA accounts. Private mortgage investing isn’t for the get-rich-quick type of person. However, you can comfortably double your money every 4 to 6 years. For example, should you invest in your self-directed IRA and re-invest as notes pay off? $100,000 at 12 percent grows to over $200,000 in six years, to $500,000 in 13 years and to over $1 million in 19 years. Private mortgage loans are backed by real property. Generally, you would not lend more than 55 percent on the value of the property, thus the investment is again relatively safe. Instead of concentrating on the borrower’s credit history, private mortgage lenders concentrate their investment decisions on the real property itself. However, like any business or investment, there are a lot of details to learn, and you do not need to learn them on your own. Learning them on your own can be costly. In this economic environment of very low interest rates, you can still earn high yields with virtually little or no risk to your investment. ... Read more

Private Mortgage Investing
The book was very informative, but dealt more in generalities than the specifics I was looking for. I guess that will have to be my next read... The examples were a good way of helping the reader understand.I would recommend the book to anyone that needs a good overview of private mortgage investing.

Good book, but......
Good basic book on investing in private mortgage.

The co-author has a two page advertisement in the back of the book.I called and we were working out a possible loan on a commercial building, but he suddenly stopped answering my phone calls and emails.Not very professional.Maybe he doesn't want to work with small investors.I don't know.

a book for beginners
it's a good book, however mostly for whoever has never read much on the subject.

Midlevel Overview of Private Mortgage Lending
This is an excellent first book on the subject of private mortgage lending.

If you have no idea if what private mortgage lending is about, it has enough detail for you to understand what the business is about and how to get started.

In my opinion, it does not spend enough time explaining the "Gotchas". It has plenty of information to get you started but not enough to keep you out of trouble.

If you are interested in engaging in this business as a lender, by all means buy this book first, but when you have read it two or three times, be aware that you need to know a lot more about troubled borrowers, real estate inspections and appraisals, real estate title problems, bankruptcy, and local forclosure laws and procedures before you start lending your own money.

Mortgage broker learned a lot from this book
This is a very helpful book on the topic of hard money loans. It also touches on investing in discount notes. Even an experienced investor will find some helpful nuggets of information in this book. This book not only showed me the way to safely invest & build personal wealth, but it gave me insight as a mortgage broker looking to place my clients with hard money loans. I called and spoke with co-author Matt Tabacchi recently, and he is still in business with 4 branch offices...I may even place some of my money with him to lend in Florida.

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.

Chapters: Robert Fripp, Montague Druitt, Al Stewart, Matthew Prior, George Douglas-Hamilton, 10th Earl of Selkirk, William Cox, Neil Middleditch, Leoba, William George Hawtry Bankes, Billy Burden, Thecla of Kitzingen. Excerpt:Al Stewart Al Stewart (born Alastair Ian Stewart , 5 September 1945) is a Scottish singer-songwriter and folk-rock musician . Stewart came to stardom as part of the British folk revival in the '60s and '70s , and developed his own unique style of combining folk-rock songs with delicately woven tales of the great characters and events from history. He is best known for his hit 1976 single "Year of the Cat " from the platinum album Year of the Cat . Though Year of the Cat and its 1978 platinum follow-up Time Passages brought Stewart his biggest worldwide commercial successes, earlier albums such as Past, Present and Future from 1973 are often seen as better examples of his intimate brand of historical folk-rock - a style to which he has returned in recent albums. Stewart was a key figure in a fertile era in British music and he appears throughout the musical folklore of the age. He played at the first ever Glastonbury Festival in 1970, knew Yoko Ono pre-Lennon , shared a London apartment with a young Paul Simon , and hosted at the legendary Les Cousins folk club in London in the 1960s. Stewart has released eighteen studio/live albums and two limited edition albums of B-sides and rarities between Bedsitter Images in 1967 and Sparks of Ancient Light in 2008, and continues to tour extensively around the US and Canada, Europe and the UK. In 2009, he released Uncorked (Live with Dave Nachmanoff) on his independent label, Wallaby Trails Recordings. He has worked with Alan Parsons , Jimmy Page , Rick Wakeman , Tori Amos and Tim Renwick and currently plays with Dave Nachmano... ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Mormaer of Lennox or Earl of Lennox was the ruler of the long-lasting provincial Mormaerdom/Earldom of Lennox in the Medieval Kingdom of the Scots. The first Mormaer is usually regarded as Ailin I (also Alpin, Alun or Alwin), but the genealogy of the Mormaers gives earlier names. The last Mormaer of the native line was Isabella, who married Muireadhach Stewart, the Duke of Albany, and died in 1458. The recent work of Cynthia Neville and Michael Brown has made Lennox perhaps the best understood native scottish Mormaerdom. After the extinction of the Lennox line, the Scottish Peerage title of Earl of Lennox was granted to John Stewart, Lord Darnley. It has been "created" six times, becoming extinct every time. The Earl of Lennox (see Lennox) was elevated to Duke of Lennox in 1581. with subsidiary Lord Darnley, Aubigny and Dalkeith (1580) ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=934529 ... Read more
