Abstract
This paper analyzes the impact of the proposed REIT on the U.K. commercial real estate market and the benefits that they can provide the investing community. In view of its dynamic nature and complicated taxation and legal issues, it is necessary to make a thorough investigation of all pros and cons of REIT before the U.K. authorities go ahead with implementation. The U.S. is perhaps the most advanced market for REIT in terms of size, growth, and sophistication. A few countries, such as Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Japan, Singapore, and Korea have REIT structures, and many of them are quite successful. The paper examines the impact of REIT on the U.K. market by analyzing the REIT mechanisms in the U.S. and other nations, such as Australia and Japan. The successful evolution of REIT in the U.S. is traced from its early years, and the impact of favorable legislation to the success of investment vehicles is highlighted. The paper explores the taxation and legal implications for REIT under the present taxation regime in the United Kingdom. The paper considers the different forms and structures of REIT and highlights the advantages and disadvantages from the viewpoint of returns for the investors. The paper also stresses the importance of tax-efficient and investor-friendly policies in determining the success of the REIT. The paper concludes that the U.S.-styled REIT will have a favorable impact on the commercial real estate market in the U.K., and the paper recommends that REIT be introduced as soon as possible due to growing investor interest in real estate. The paper makes specific recommendations as to the manner in which REIT should be introduced in the U.K..

From the Paper
"A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is defined as a corporation or a trust that accumulates capital from multiple investors to acquire and manage income property, called equity REIT and or mortgage loans, referred to as mortgage REIT. In many a sense, REITs are similar to equities as they are traded on major stock exchanges. REITs are eligible for several fiscal benefits compared to real ownership of properties. They are highly liquid and can be converted to cash in quick time, unlike the conventional real estate deals, where significant time elapses before a deal is completed. More importantly, REITs provide attractive opportunities to investors as they can share ownership in non-residential properties such as hotels, malls and industrial complexes. From the perspective of individuals, REITs are interesting because they have no minimum investment levels and hence affordability is not a major issue. In terms of returns on investment, they offer the comfort that they need not arise or fall in line with the overall market."

Abstract
This paper discusses the real estate markets of both China and Japan with a view to first examining each country's individual, cultural, political, or sociological characteristics. In regards to Japan, the cultural and social dimension is given precedence over the political and the governmental while in regards to China the governmental and the political is given precedence over the cultural and the social.
From the Paper
"Researchers for years have argued the nature and character of Asian culture in general and Chinese and Japanese culture specifically; though for various reasons. In examining these two dynamic countries within the rapidly evolving Asia-Pacific Rim in terms of their respective real estate markets, it is important to understand these two countries, and their respective cultures, independently. Though both countries are part of the collective Asian culture and all that that categorization implies: collectivist, homogeneous, Confucian and industrious, they are also polarized differently from each other. In this respect, it is paramount to examine each market differently, or rather, from a different perspective. For Japan, it is perhaps best to examine from a socio-cultural point of view."

Unprecedented Opportunities
From the Paper
"The attacks occurred right after Labor Day, bringing a rush of sublease space to the already increasing market. Both companies that had planned to sublease office space prior to Sept. 11 and those who were on the fence about it moved quickly. As a result, New York City?s commercial real estate market tightened. The flood of available space came on at a rate of three to one. For every seven million square feet of space that was absorbed, 21 million square feet of new space came on the market."

From the Paper
"It was not until the late 1940s that Las Vegas came into view by political leaders as a potential thriving business. In 1944 Maxwell Kelch became president of the Chamber of Commerce and presented advertising and publicity agencies with offers to promote Vegas. Millions suddenly desired to enter the city of lights after word got out of the sight to see, famous figures and gambling potential. Many new hotels popped up in response to the increased interest in city affairs. Most of the early hotels featured ?bungalow style rooms? that were very plain compared to modern standards. However, they eventually grew larger into the giant resorts with which most people are familiar today."

"Introduction
Real estate is one of the most critical aspects of the American economy. It represents one of the most significant investments that businesses or individuals make, and generally is the single most valuable asset on balance sheets and within an individual's portfolio. This research examines the real estate market in the United States, including factors that affect its pricing and trends that the market can be expected to take in the near future.
Importance of Real Estate
Real property and buildings have long been considered sound investments, more so than stocks, bonds, or even precious metals. Unlike currency, which can lose its value, or stocks, which can go down in price as companies' fortunes wax and wane, land has an intrinsic value because it.."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the latest economic recession has left its market on the real estate industry, some for the better, but most for the worse. It looks at how deteriorating conditions are evidenced by higher vacancy rates, lower market prices and/or a slower pace of sales while healthier markets enjoy the reverse of these outcomes. It explores the recent changes in the market for the real estate industry across the following sectors: single-family, multifamily, office, retail and industrial real estate markets.
Outline
Introduction
Single-Family Real Estate Markets
Multifamily Real Estate Markets
Office Real Estate Markets
Retail Real Estate Markets
Industrial Real Estate Markets
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The largest question that looms for the single-family housing market is if the bubble will burst. The biggest market fundament that drives housing purchases is mortgage rates than have been at near record lows. Thus, when interest rates start to rise, the housing market should slow down. But that?s not expected to happen for some time and when it does it will be in response to stronger economic activity which will offset a good bit of the effect on the housing sector. And, in a population of 290 million people, a 1.85 million increase in new homes isn?t much of an increase in the supply. The National Association of Realtors is forecasting only a three percent decline in home prices by the fourth quarter of 2003. However, the market for housing is highly subject to local market conditions and there may be both lower and higher regional exceptions to these estimates."

Abstract
During the 1990s Canadian real estate, residential and commercial, endured a prolonged slump. After a decade of rapidly escalating prices and increasing speculation the market collapsed in 1989. Across Canada prices fell by as much as 30 percent. Toronto was one of the markets hardest hit. However, it has also been one of the quickest to recover and its recovery has been extremely strong in comparison to other major metropolitan regions. This paper identifies four factors in the recovery of the Toronto real estate market: The city's quality of life, its strong economy, its location and its continuing appeal to immigrants.

Abstract
This paper examines how due to the similarities of real estate transactions in general, many Americans assume that the basic real estate terms and principles of the United States also hold true in Mexico. It looks at how many aspects of Mexican real estate are in fact completely different and therefore, a foreigner who wishes to purchase real estate in Mexico may face many obstacles to acquiring simple ownership. Before making a purchase, it is important to understand the terrain, its problems and advantages, as well as the area, the people and the corresponding real estate values.

Introduction
Different Laws in Mexico

Financing and Deeding
Obtaining Title and Title Insurance
Changes Made for Foreign Investment
From the Paper
"Mexican deeds are public instruments, which can be researched at the local Public Registry of Property (National Law Center for Inter-American Free Trade, 1997). There is a Public Registry of Property in most cities and towns throughout Mexico. These government offices are where documents are registered so that third parties can research the ownership of land titles and liens on such titles. A deed must be finalized and signed by a Mexican notary. The deed lists the parties involved in the transaction, including the notary, seller, buyer, and the trustee bank, as well as identifies the property."

Abstract
This paper explains the need for a research paper that would consider the relationships that exist in the real estate transaction process. The paper then introduces a dissertation that would analyze the relationships that exist between real estate transactions on the internet and on paper. The paper explains that understanding these relationships would help determine whether digital real estate transactions via the internet can provide more timely, safe convenient and less costly transactions than paper transactions. The paper further explains that in order to assess the question fully, the relationships that exist between time and paper vs. digital related processes must be examined and that in order to examine these relationships, the real estate transaction process must be examined in detail. Thus, among other things, the paper requires an analysis of the actual processes involved in the real estate transaction, including the processes of recording deeds, mortgages in county court clerk systems by banks, attorneys and title escrow companies.
From the Paper
"The first step toward investigating relationships is an analysis of the real estate process and potential variables that impact the time it takes to process transactions. A review of the literature currently available with regard to real estate transactions will help the researcher assess exactly how many variables and the types of variables that are necessary to observe to determine the relationship that exists between time and transaction processing."

The Real Estate Industry, 2004.
An examination of the effects of the sluggish economy on the real estate/housing industry.

Abstract
This paper discusses how real estate markets are often influenced in a positive manner during times when the economy is sluggish. It looks at how sales traditionally rise or remain high and how interest rates tend to drop steadily and dramatically, attracting consumers to the market. It analyzes how this is due, in part, to the fact that real estate and housing markets are directly affected by consumer behavior, which often is unexpected during times when the stability of the economy is questionable. It looks at how consumers often seek out ventures that will guarantee them some type of financial stability during times when the overall dependability and constancy of the economy remains questionable.
From the Paper
"One reason real estate thrives in times of economic hardship is that people seek out homeownership as a means to invest in something stable, safe and secure (Cendant, 2002). During times when the economy is stagnant or flailing, customers typically are ready to invest in long term purchases that are likely to offer value and service for their money (Cendant, 2002). Buying a home is one manner in which consumers are provided with the most value and service for every dollar they spend, especially when housing prices are falling and more homes can be purchased for less money."

From the Paper
"The residential real estate industry has been surprisingly resilient in light of the current economic situation. Over the previous two years residential real estate purchases registered into the double digits, while these numbers are down, the market for real estate is anything but out. At a glance, it would appear that realtors do not even know that a recession exists as new properties are springing up from Northern Virginia to California, even Hong Kong is getting in on the action. So what does the future hold for the residential real estate market in the United States and across the globe?"

Abstract
Human resource management at any firm requires the negotiating between different personalities. However, because of the daily nature of real estate as a profession and the need to forestall personality conflicts between employees and sellers, this becomes particularly critical in the real estate profession. This paper examines the role of human resources in real estate firms. It also provides recommendations for a real estate firm when setting up an HR department.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, as individuals become more tempted to sell homes themselves, either as independent agents or by using the internet, real estate firms must work particularly hard in today?s climate to make a case for the need for their profession, and the need for an agent as a crucial middleperson in negotiating a fair and equitable sale, as well as informing prospective sellers and buyers of any particular property of the value of said purchase. In fact, the internet has proved helpful in some respects to the industry, as ?advances in telecommunications and the ability to retrieve data on properties over the Internet allows many real estate brokers and sales agents to work out of their homes, instead of real estate offices.? (U.S. Department of Labor, ?Real Estate,? 2004)"

From the Paper
"Investing in real estate has long held a strong allure for many individuals-their homes may be the only real estate investment they own, but with options such as reverse mortgages and home equity loans many individuals consider a single residence investment sufficient. Other investors are drawn to real estate because there is a tangible asset-land or buildings-that does not exist with many other types of investments. Still, other investors think of themselves as real estate moguls in the mold of Donald Trump who ..."

From the Paper
"In 1987, Larry Silverstein completed his addition to his commercial empire, ?a 47 story block called World Trade Center 7, with 2 million square feet of space? (Duke 2002). After lusting for years after the prize of all prizes, in 2001, he won the bid to ?become the leaseholder on the World Trade Center Twin Towers, with 10 million square feet of office space ? (Duke 2002). He began constructing his offices on the 101st floor of the WRC I. Silverstein had become ?one of the largest commercial landlords in New York City (Duke 2002). While debates abound regarding what to do with the most prized real estate in Manhattan, Silverstein declares, ?My lease requires me to pay $130 million a year for 99 years. I only have 98 years to go. And my lease obligates me to rebuild. . . . So with the insurance money coming to me, I' m going to take those proceeds and rebuild the Trade Center and fulfill my obligation under the law? (Duke 2002)."
