Even in boom times, half of all small businesses fail within the first five years - and two-thirds fail by the seventh year. The fact is, some of these businesses could be saved if the owners simply had more information, telling business owners how to recognize the signs of a failing business before it is too late, how to file for bankruptcy reorganization rather than liquidation, and how to manage a company throughout the bankruptcy process in order to emerge with the business intact, and even stronger. Written from the author's firsthand experience rescuing her own company it explains how to - recognize and solve chronic business problems that could lead to bankruptcy; decide whether or not to file for bankruptcy; select the right lawyer to guide you through the bankruptcy process; communicate with all parties in a bankruptcy, including secured and unsecured creditors, customers and employees; continue to do business with creditors; rebuild a business after a bankruptcy.

Everyday, people just like you have a real chance to make serious money in real estate. All it requires is the discipline to purchase good property and the motivation to make new purchases that will create growing equity. Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, Building Big Profits in Real Estate will show you the right way to invest in real estate. A successful stock market investor may need to perform extensive research to make a profit, but becoming a successful real estate investor can be more complex and far more hands-on, especially when you're just getting started. The good thing about real estate is that it offers more security as well as greater upside potential than any other investment--mainly because the value of property never goes to zero (unlike some recent stocks) and real estate prices often continue to go up even when general economic conditions are soft. Building Big Profits in Real Estate focuses on the sound strategies that everyone needs to understand before they invest in real estate. It covers important topics, such as analyzing markets, financing your projects, purchasing rental property, managing a real estate portfolio, finding new ways to invest, and understanding wholesale markets. It also reveals some of the most overlooked opportunities in the real estate market, including Section 8 rentals, wholesaling properties, and selling houses on a rent-to-own basis.
