.ASIA Domain auctions

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

I talked about my attempt to get some .asia domain names in March.  Well, I did not outright win any of them.  However, the auctions have finally now started.  What sucks is that I charged over $2,000 on my credit card and I won't get that refunded until the auctions ...

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

It's been two months since my last update on Apartment #1.  The last time I wrote about Apartment 1 I said that pro-forma revenue is around $82,000/mo for the complex and we are at about $66,000/mo.   In March we dropped down to $62,000/mo in rental income. Although vacancy is actually lower, we ...

General Update

Apartment Updates  I can say that I'm 99% sure that Apartment #2 is going to close in May.  We are about $200,000 short of the $2,750,000 we needed.  Looking at the sheer numbers, its actually pretty amazing that we have $2,500,000 committed into an apartment complex when everyone is saying to stay ...

Houston Apartment #2 Update

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

I guess it was about time for an update on Apartment #2.  Since the last update our 5% additional financing fell through, but we were able to find an investment group that wanted a piece of the apartment building.  As of today we have a closing date at the end ...

Back from the trip

Monday, April 21st, 2008

It's been a long and tiring weekend.  Just wanted to post a few pictures before I get to sleep on a nice bed.  Below is Havasu Falls.  I don't think that you can take a bad picture here.   This is Mooney Falls. This is one of the hundreds of small pools that you can ...

A Snag in the Ebiz Operations

Friday, April 18th, 2008

As you read this I'm hiking in Havasupai Canyon near the Grand Canyon.  This is the first time that I will not have internet access for an extended period of time.  Normally if I'm out of town or even camping I will get access to cell phone coverage during some ...
