Is Gary Vaynerchuk, creator of TV.WineLibary.com, on the list of 2009 Extraordinary Business Minds? I don't see him on this list, but he should have been... View Who Made it and Who Didn't It.

I recently went to a social marketing workshop that featured Gary Vaynerchuck. Gary is creator of WineLibrary.com and his video podcast receives 90,000 viewers. People love to watch him drink. He recently signed a $1,000,000 book deal and his websites generates millions of dollars as well.

Here's what I learned from a Russian who is Proud to be an American.

Shorts Sales are the Swine Flu of Real Estate
I officially like to say, "I don't like short sales.

Read the email I recently received from a listing agent:

Are your clients still hanging in there?

It looks like we will have to resubmit the packet. Considering the developments, at this point I think we should be prepared that it could still be another 60-90 days.

We are doing everything in our power to condense that time frame but I need to know if your clients are in for the "long haul" at this point?

What Does Long Haul Mean?

A while back I sent a text to a few friends, who unknown to them, happened to inspire me that morning.

Inspire Me for What?

Unlike most, I am naturally lazy and don’t like to work hard. I try to find the easiest way to accomplish a simple task. Because of this ailment, I have to have laser-beam focus to accomplish tasks and not get side-tracked.

Four years ago Congress passed the most extraordinary tax incentive in the history of the United States that offered a 50% first year bonus depreciation for buying new rental properties in Gulfport, Mississippi-part of the "GO-Zone".

But it all expires this year.

Properties must have construction finished in 2009 in order to qualify so reservations have to be in by the end of August.

I interviewed Matt Bowles of Maverick Investor Group to discuss a Premium Go-Zone Investor Only Buying Opportunity.

Quick Project Highlights

**Buying in the tail end of a subdivision that is already about 80% filled-up with primary homeowners.

**The preferred property management company will guarantee you a tenant the day you close or they will pay you rent for up to 60 days until a tenant is found.

**Investoros can get over $70,000 in depreciation per property as part of the GO-Zone benefits
