One thing about a bad economy, the government makes special programs and credits to help small businesses get started. The current economy we are in is no exception. Those who start a business now and can survive through this recession/depression will be the leaders in the future.

I have available a riverfront subdivision located in Kingsland, Georgia, which is approximately 50 miles north of Jacksonville, FL. It is comprised of 96 lots, 17 of which are on the river with ocean access. 54 acres in total. Last appraised in July, 2008, for $10M retail, and $6.5M wholesale. I am willing to consider all reasonable offers, including joint ventures, equity sharing, seller financing, etc. Also, the bank will allow the existing note, (approximately $3M at 6%), to be assumed. Meaning someone can purchase this property without needing to get new financing and with not much cash out of pocket. Possibly as little as $350K to take title. We are open to all possibilities with any serious buyer.
The property is zoned both residential and multifamily. This would allow for up to 450 condos/townhomes, or some combination of multi units and single family properties. For example, the 17 waterfront lots could be used for high end single family houses, while the interior of the subdivision could hold condos/townhouses. This property is located approx 9 miles west from Kings Bay Naval Base, which will provide a steady supply of renters and buyers.
All infrastructure has been placed underground for all lots, including city water and sewage, electric, cable and fiber optics. All roads are paved with curbs and gutters, all street signs and lights are in place. All that is needed is for the houses to be built on the individual lots. Access is good to schools, employment, and shopping. The demand for single family homes is good and is expected to increase as new subdivisions and housing are planned for this area. The city of Kingsland is pro development and has some impressive plans in this regard.

Appraisal documents as well as city approved layouts and photos are available upon request.

“When American’s used their homes as ATM’s, the world economy boomed. Once that debt fueled bubble burst, China started to fall. When the US stopped importing from China, China stopped importing from the rest of the world. Now, the whole world is feeling the pain as the two largest economies in the world collapse.

So, is the crisis over? I don’t think so. We are, as Richard Duncan states, in the New Depression.

This is why the 8 New Rules of Money are important. The rules of money have changed and we need to change with them– or we are toast.”

Quote by Robert Kiyosaki in his latest book “The Conspiracy Of The Rich”

When Obama says that the only way out of this Recession is to spend more with more stimulus packages, what are you thinking? Do you think going into more debt is the answer? If this last housing boom was fueled by the false equity in our homes, then what will happen to the price of your house when the stimulus packages do not work. If there are no buyers to get rid of the glut of empty homes, what will happen to there value? I think it will continue to drop for the next 5-10 years. Just a hunch. Yes, if you buy a property with positive cash flow (rent covers costs of mortgage/repairs/etc.) you should be safe. But what if the real estate market continues to drop, what will happen to the cost of rent? Would it be safe to say that it too would drop until the market corrects itself? There are a few real estate “guru’s” who profess that you can’t go wrong with real estate because the value will eventually return. But what happens in the mean time? Do you wait until your rents fall so low that it is no longer financially sound to hold on to your property? Some say that real estate is a good hedge to inflation, I agree. However, if inflation raises the value of homes, but there is no one who can afford it, the value will remain low. Unless you are purchasing a home for pennies on the dollar, I believe there are other investments that will perform better. Another asset class that will rise due to inflation is Gold and Silver. I believe that Gold and Silver will rise before real estate. Nonetheless, real estate isn’t a bad investment right now, just be ready to take a hit when it comes to the value of your home and equity. If you can weather the equity storm then an investment in real estate is a good investment.

Will this be the next big thing to come out of Cupertino, CA?  I think so…  Should cost between $600-1000. I think its funny how just when other companies are finally catching up to the iPhone, another new ground breaking device comes out.

So this is the first post of many that I plan to post to explain what internet marketing is. The history of the web, how it has grown, and what the future brings I believe is important to understand if you are going to effectively use it for your benefit. I still remember when the internet was first getting to be a useful tool. Mosaic, Netscape Navigator, the clunky AOL, and then Internet Explorer were the early browsers shaping the landscape of Web 0.0. Microsoft was dominating everything and Apple was hanging by a thread. Dial up was the standard for home connection to the internet and DSL was a luxury. Remember T1 connections? Cost was like $1000 per month… Thank goodness for FioS! Here is Liam O’Morain in 2009 explaining the history of the web and how it will transition into Web 3.0. This concept may be old to some of you out there, but for those of you who don’t know, just some FYI. Personal Computing is no longer going to be on a desktop computer, it will be on a phone/pda or a portable computer/laptop. I think Apple is going to reap the rewards with their new iTablet platform.

Some simple slide shows and info I pulled from www.labnol.org about Web 3.0:

This slide neatly sums up the main differences between Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0.

Web 1.0 – That Geocities & Hotmail era was all about read-only content and static HTML websites. People preferred navigating the web through link directories of Yahoo! and dmoz.

Web 2.0 – This is about user-generated content and the read-write web. People are consuming as well as contributing information through blogs or sites like Flickr, YouTube, Digg, etc. The line dividing a consumer and content publisher is increasingly getting blurred in the Web 2.0 era.

Web 3.0 – This will be about semantic web (or the meaning of data), personalization (e.g. iGoogle), intelligent search and behavioral advertising among other things.

If that sounds confusing, check out some of these excellent presentations that help you understand Web 3.0 in simple English. Each takes a different approach to explain Web 3.0 and the last presentation uses an example of a “postage stamp” to explain the “semantic web”.

Here’s a link to the new semantic search engine for Web 3.0. Check out the comparisons to Google search.

There’s not much recoil with jungle vines when you make the jump. The whiplash must be serious. The goal is to get as close to the ground as possible without breaking your neck or turning your body into a slinky. If your hair touches the ground it should promise bountiful crops and fortunes. I’d just eat grass.

Here’s some footage of one dude’s vines breaking at the end of his jump…

In a controversial statement, Pat Robertson, says Haitians invoked the earthquake in a deal with the devil. Whether true or not, I thought it was tasteless and downright disgusting. I just want to know what the lady with him was thinking. Also there is some footage of a Haitian man responding to Pat Robertson’s remarks.
