  GROWING UP in a modest house located in a small lot on New York’s Long Island didn’t exactly make author Gary D. Rappaport a likely candidate to become a successful entrepreneurial owner of multimillion dollar shopping centers and mixed-use properties. But this self-made man attributes his success to a handful of qualities he picked up from his father, among which were his entrepreneurial spirit, optimism, problem-solving, integrity, people skills, and in no small way, to his numbers skills.  From delivering newspapers door-to-door as a boy to building single-family homes to sell to baby boomers while right out of college to just a few years later starting his own company to purchase shopping centers and redevelop them, Mr. Rappaport’s career has been extremely financially rewarding for him as well as for the investors he handpicked along the way, mostly friends and family members.  Using images, tables, and figures, the third edition of Investing in Retail Properties explains in great detail and with frank transparency how Mr. Rappaport did it, and suggests that anyone can learn to do the same while building exceptional wealth in the process. He lays out a roadmap that is not available in any other book for would-be entrepreneurs to follow in his footsteps. He even shares stories of his students who have evolved and adapted his model to achieve incredible success.  However, Mr. Rappaport says that being an acquirer and developer of commercial real estate properties is not for the faint of heart. It comes with stress in personally guaranteeing loans and dealing with the ups and downs of commercial real estate that inevitably fluctuates with macroeconomic cycles. According to Mr. Rappaport, anyone can do what he did, but the individual must have the stomach for high risks, the thirst for exceptional rewards, and the patience to withstand the time horizon that is inherent in the direct ownership of commercial real estate.  In this book, full of real-life case studies, you’ll learn how to:  Acquire undervalued commercial real estate  Raise equity capital from friends and family and place the debt  Identify properties that have upside potential to increase the  value  Prepare your investor package and make effective presentations  Benefit from tax advantages for owners of commercial real  estate  Set up legal entities for the properties and management  company  Redevelop and reposition the property  Structure the sharing of cash flow and appreciation for your  investors and yourself  Refinance or sell the investment property to lock-in huge  profits  In his entrepreneur’s playbook, Mr. Rappaport talks about structuring partnerships and building an operating real estate business, but more importantly, he talks about his life and experiences. He talks about the great risks he has taken over the past 40 years as an entrepreneurial developer. He says that readers of the previous editions of this book want to learn more than the technical aspects of the business. They want to know how it will affect their lives, and this book lays it out for the reader to easily grasp in an honest and straightforward manner. Investing in Retail Properties is not only a true rags-to-riches story of Gary Rappaport but it’s also inspirational and provides a step-by-step guide for budding entrepreneurs hoping to achieve similar success in developing commercial real estate.

  Insight in this book is drawn from Deborah Heiser's experience running The Mentor Project, a nonprofit mentoring organization with more than 100 mentors at the absolute top of their fields. In this book, listeners will learn about the proven benefits of mentorship in both work and home life; mentorship in various fields, including business, research, entrepreneurship, and art; and classic examples of the power of mentorship, like when Steve Jobs asked Steve Wozniak for engineering help when he was at Atari. 
   
   
   
  The Mentorship Edge is an essential guide to demystify the special concept of mentoring and inspire individuals to engage in mentoring naturally, whether hierarchically or laterally, based on their goals and passions.

  The History of Urbanization -...

  Urbanization refers to the process through which cities and towns grow as a result of the migration of people from rural areas and the expansion of urban areas. It is a phenomenon that has shaped human history for thousands of years, influencing every aspect of society from economics to culture and beyond. As populations increase, the desire for better living conditions, access to employment, and social interaction has led individuals to seek opportunities in urban centers. Over time, these cities evolve to accommodate larger populations, evolving into complex hubs of commerce, culture, and technology. 
  The roots of urbanization trace back to the early agricultural revolution, which enabled humans to produce food more efficiently and settle in one place. This change allowed small villages to grow into the first cities, creating more permanent centers of human life. As civilizations advanced, cities became focal points for trade, governance, religion, and culture. Each of these elements played a crucial role in promoting further urban development, as settlements began to specialize in various industries, services, and functions that drew people from surrounding rural regions. 
  Historically, urbanization was most prominent in ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and later, Greece and Rome. These early cities, though primitive by modern standards, laid the foundations for the urban environments we know today. Greek and Roman cities were carefully planned, with infrastructures like roads, aqueducts, and public spaces that contributed to their growth and sustainability. In more recent centuries, urbanization expanded rapidly during the Industrial Revolution, driven by advances in technology, industry, and transportation. Factories, railroads, and new employment opportunities in cities attracted millions of people, transforming landscapes and social structures in profound ways.
