THE GO ZONE IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR 2010 - There's still time to take advantage of tremendous tax benefits!If you've never heard of Go Zone (which should be an impossibility if you read my blogs and websites), the GO Zone act is an IRS SPONSORED government endorsed program providing tax incentives that literally allow you to zero out your tax bill by investing in the Hurricane Katrina devastated areas of the Gulf Coast. The GO Zone has expired in most of the area. However, there are still select opportunities still available in Mississippi. We've highlighted 4 such deals on our www.GOZoneProjects.com … (0 comments)

investment real estate: Latest Economic Indices Not Painting a Rosy Picture - 07/02/09 08:14 PM
Here's the most recent data according to R. Keith Schwer of the The Center for Business and Economic Research regarding the Southern Nevada Index of Leading Economic Indicators:The Index rose a modest 0.6 percent for June, essentially standing still on a month-to-month basis. The sharp decline of the past year or so has at least hit a pause, however. Visitor volume, down a modest 2.89 percent for the same month a year ago, contributed the most to the strength of the index. All in all, we may be starting to get around the corner. We remain cautiously optimistic that a turn … (0 comments)

investment real estate: Good News and/or Bad News Regarding the Las Vegas Real Estate Market - 04/24/09 12:41 PM
According to an article published in yesterday's Las Vegas Review Journal, real estate prices in the Las Vegas Valley are now at 2001 levels.

But wait: there's even MORE good news and bad news in the same sentence because the Review Journal today just published another article saying it's possible the median value of homes in Las Vegas could now drop to $100,000.I guess it would depend on whether you were a buyer or a seller to determine if this is good news … (1 comments)

investment real estate: Marketing Company Inks Sweetheart Deal from LVCVA - Especially Without Any Competition - 04/15/09 02:42 PM
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority just approved a new three-year advertising and marketing deal with R&R Partners, creators of the "What happens here, stays here" advertising slogan.Now I will give you that "What happens here, stays here" is probably one of the most successful marketing campaigns in the history of advertising, but I'm a little confused that R&R Partners won the contract without an open bidding process. We're talking $400 million dollars in spending by the authority over the past 5 years. Shouldn't other agencies at least have a shot at that kind of prize, especially since every other … (0 comments)

investment real estate: Main Stages of a Real Estate Bubble - 03/21/09 06:14 PM
I'd like to summarize an interesting article someone just emailed to me. Here's a timeline for the anatomy of the real estate mess we find ourselves in as a nation:
Take Off: 1998-1999 First Sell Off: 2000 Media Attention: 2001-2002 Enthusiasm: 2003 Greed: 2004-2005 Delusion: 2006 Denial: 2007 Fear: 2008 Capitulation: 2009-2010 Despair: 2011-2013 Return to the Mean: 2014 Sounds about right. Backed up by 500 years of economic history, the timeline applies pretty well to the current real estate bubble. In fact, 4 main stages can then be identified:1) The Stealth Phase: With better access to information and a higher … (1 comments)
