Thank you and farewell to Matt Zembruski
It is with mixed emotions that I share with you that my longtime colleague, business partner, and friend, Matt Zembruski, is moving on to pursue other goals and dreams for his business career. Matt has been the general manager of Growth-Logic, Inc, also known as Bullseye Capital, for the last six years and his contribution has been immeasurable I am happy for Matt, but consider it a loss because Matt has brainstormed with me; Matt has organized with me; and Matt has helped to lead our company into many of the wonderful programs that have helped so many people over the years.

Only Your Haircutter Knows For Sure
Today was the one day of the month I go and get a haircut. One of the first things that my haircutter said to me was that his clients have been telling him he needs to get into the real estate short-sale game. When I hear a non-professional tell me that I need to get into the “game,” I know the opportunity for professional buyers is behind us, and it’s time to get out of the game.

Should the Concept of Estate Tax Apply to Big Corporations?
The founding fathers of this country, and many of the leaders that followed, watched the wealth accumulated by the early industrialists such as Getty, Rockefeller and Carnegie. Our country’s leaders did not want any person or family to acquire so much wealth that they became more powerful than the government — or so rich that they could challenge it. For this reason, the founders of our taxation system brought this concept to life with the Estate Tax in 1916. In this way, the estate tax, or “anti-accumulation of wealth tax,” keeps us all safe from excessive growth of a small few.

How Do You Pick Properties in an Anomaly Market?
The conditions that real estate is facing right now can only be described as irregular: the free market is not working freely. Banks are holding properties and the Fed has not mandated the sale of these properties. Property owners have lost their equity. Short sales abound and foreclosure is at an all-time high. Turbulence and confusion have created an anomaly market.

Can an Imperfect Market Produce Perfect Results?
In economics, it's well known that a perfect market is one in which everybody has access to information instantly, accurately, and uniformly. The closest market in the United States to this is our stock market, where the information flows freely; investors know exactly how securities are priced within moments of the most recent trades. Perfect markets are difficult to beat, and the people who identify and take little pinches of profits call it arbitrage.

Can Lone Wolves Cooperate?
A few days ago, I shared my view on how entrepreneurs are being squeezed out in this economy - even more so than our bigger company counter-parts who have also been struggling. A lot of people agreed — and a few disagreed – but this topic created a lot of discussion. Now I want to put forth a strategy for entrepreneurs to embrace. One which could help all on line diet of us overcome this mess.

The Death of Entrepreneurship?
In business, nothing matters more to me than free enterprise and the success of entrepreneurship across America. The values that entrepreneurs bring to business are what have made this country great over its 234-year history. But I'm concerned that the current business and political environment is so unfriendly to entrepreneurs that the death of entrepreneurship may be imminent.

Where Can I Get A Good Grant Writer?
People ask me frequently if I know of a good grant writer. I used to think that it was possible to find an excellent grant writer by going on one of the many websites, such as http://www.elance.com or http://www.guru.com and finding someone who is highly experienced in complying with the forms, formats and the rules of the various grants that are available for businesses, non-profits, and other organizations.

Real Estate Syndication: Does A New World Need a New Way?
The world has gotten sufficiently complicated, where many of the rules that have been written in the past need to be broken or disregarded so that we can move forward and break through the log jam.
