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."

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.

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
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."

Las Vegas and its Portrayal Through Film, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses how as Hollywood?s entertainment counterpart, Las Vegas has been screened as a mecca for romance, crime, action and adventure. It shows how with its consumer expenditure and capital gain, its seductive neon lights, together with its surrounding vast desert, make it an ideal space for filmmakers to explore a diverse range of character types and narratives. It analyses how although all set in three different periods of time, the films "Ocean?s 11", "Casino" and "Leaving Las Vegas" depict very different images of Las Vegas. It discusses how each film does this through the director's use of mise-en-scene and iconography and the values it holds and their use of time both outside of the film to create a period of time and within the film to correspond to the film?s narrative.
From the Paper
"Scorsese depicts a Vegas at a time when organized crime played a pivotal role in the ownership and running of the casinos. Behind the sexy showgirls, the enticing neon lights, the shining slot machines and the lucky blackjack tables, lives an underworld of greed, vengeance and power which he explores in his 1995 film Casino. In 1983, Ace Rothstein played by Robert De Niro is blown into a sky of flames and is dropped into the flashing neon lights of 1970?s Las Vegas. The opening credits are supplied over a close up of the dots which combine to create a neon sign; very similar to the opening credits of Milestone?s 1960?s classic Ocean?s 11, reminding us that these signs will take us into the glittering world of Vegas, where ?anything goes;? a world in which before Casino, has only ever been depicted through the eyes of the visitor."

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."

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.

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 presents an analysis of the real estate industry by discussing current trends of the real estate industry while analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Additionally, this paper also discusses the national and global outlook of the real estate industry as well as potential problems that the real estate industry may encounter in the future.
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
In this article, the writer discusses real estate investing. The writer looks at ways to invest and save money in real estate. The writer examines the appeal of real estate investment for individual homeowners. In this paper, the writer also discusses real estate investing as a financial investment on a larger scale.
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 ..."

Real Estate and Human Resources, 2004.
Examines the role of human resource personnel in a real estate agency setting.

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)"

New tourist attractions and large casino resort hotels are also being built and opened on a regular basis. The city is growing at an exponential rate. The tourist Mecca of Las Vegas is located in a broad desert valley in extreme southern Nevada. Mountains surrounding the valley extend 2,000 to 10,000 feet above the valley floor. The Las Vegas Valley comprises about six hundred square miles and runs from the north to the southeast. These mountains and the metropolitan area?s location at the bottom of the valley have extreme effects on the weather."

Real Estate Moguls, 2005.

Abstract
Real estate moguls have contributed significantly to the landscape of America. The paper explains that there are those real estate moguls who have succeeded brilliantly and built hotels like The Trump Plaza and that there are those who have failed miserably and had to bankrupt their businesses or are incarcerated because of fraud and deceit. Regardless of the level of their success, the contributions of real estate moguls are undeniable. This paper examines the achievements of Donald Trump, Larry Silverstein and Leona Helmsley.
From the Paper
"There are many real estate developers who lose fortunes in their endeavors and their investors lose, also. What makes for a successful real estate developer? Not everyone can be a Donald Trump, who seems to have a golden touch. There seems to be a variety of factors that need to be considered when real estate developers undertake a new project. One consideration is location. The developer needs to determine if the location is appropriate for the type of project being considered. For example, a shopping plaza in a downtown area might not be as good of an idea as a shopping plaza in a suburban area. In accord with this, the neighborhood must be taken into account. When you are considering building your project, you must consider your neighbors and what they would prefer to have in their neighborhood. A small bookstore might fit nicely into a neighborhood, whereas a nightclub would not. A developer would also have to consider what the market is and what people desire in certain areas. A developer would not want to put in 100 office spaces in an area that has 150 empty office spaces already. This developer might want to consider small businesses to attract more commerce interests. Additionally, the developer would have to try to forecast whether the needs and wants of people will be approximately the same by the time the project is finished. This is sometimes very difficult to accomplish because of the time difference between inception of the idea and the reality of the completion of the project. An example of this is found in Los Angeles where "many of the high-rise towers that were developed downtown in the early '90s - just around the time that campus-style buildings were coming into vogue, the economy was heading into recession, and L.A. was losing many of its large corporate headquarters" (Hayes, 1999, p. 2)."

Las Vegas: More Than a Gambling Hub, 2002.

Abstract
This paper sheds light on the ?land of temptation? known as Las Vegas. While the city has earned fame by being one of the biggest gambling centers in the world, still it is important to understand that the place has a lot to offer to those visitors too whose idea of fun doesn?t include squandering money. This paper shows how Las Vegas turned into the fastest growing city of the United States both in terms of economy and population during the mid-1980s and but while the former brought huge investment into the city, the latter led to numerous problems which are commonly associated with a rapidly growing urban center. The paper focuses on all the things that keep Las Vegas in the news.
From the Paper
"The city earned its reputation as a gambling town in the fifties and sixties when its ever-sprouting casinos attracted the not-so-decent crowd and it was believed that the city was good for those who wanted some adult fun on the weekends. But all that has changed now, not only has it become a major vacation resort, there are actually some people who would love to call this once-wicked town their home. One thing has remained unchanged though, the city with its Disney-like magic and lure and its almost surreal magnificence aims to attract adult visitors only. Just like Disney would lure the young kids to its magical world, similarly this land of vicious temptations is meant primarily for adults."

Abstract
This paper presents a review of the real estate investment advice book, "The ABC's of Real Estate Investing: The Secrets of Finding Hidden Profits Most Advisors Miss", by Ken McElroy. The paper explains that the book is part of the famous "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" business book series by investment guru and advisor Robert T. Kiyosaki and that the introduction to the book is, in fact, written by Kiyosaki. The paper further explains that Kiyosaki frames the investment advice that Ken McElroy provides in the book and that the book is a worthwhile and motivating read for any investors in real estate.
From the Paper
"According to the book The ABCs of Real Estate Investing: The Secrets of Finding Hidden Profits Most Advisors Miss, it is a myth that some investors seem to have the so-called Midas touch of investing, while others do not. (9) Rather than attempting to intimidate with impressive-looking ledgers of facts and figures, ordinary investors are encouraged to read this book for concrete suggestions of how they can enter the real estate market, how they invest wisely and charge the appropriate rents for their area so they can recoup on their investment, as well as glean some general personal and motivational strategies. True, in "every business and every industry there are people who just seem to drip with success," states the introduction (1) But this book provides the reader with the practical steps to emulate such people, people who seem to have the uncanny ability to know the right properties to invest in, and thus have the power to become their own bosses, and live as they chose to live."
