West Bank Experience Sept. 17 2011

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Eric Amzalag

Preface: I have been traveling outside of the United States since July 9th. So far I was in Israel for 15 days with Taglit – Israel by Foot – Israel Outdoors, 30 days in Europe starting in Copenhagen and working my way south and east, and finally returning to Israel to remain here through November 29th. The first half of my trip I traveled with my brother Adam, and my best friend, Mike. They both left me in mid august, and since then I have been backpacking in Israel alone. Throughout this time I have been keeping a journal. I will continue to keep a personal journal, but I thought it would also be nice to reactivate my blog and periodically post updates about my experiences and thoughts during my trip. As I have already spent 1 month backpacking here, I will go back a little bit to add some posts on interesting experiences I have had here, but this first one i am posting was an experience I had as recently as September 17th… Continue on to read about my West Bank Experience….

I began asking Khary how he built an investor group to back him on deals.

Jeff (another reader) responds:

“I think if you’re able to find superbly high quality buildings, with golden tenants, in equal quality locations at cap rates of 12%, you’ll have no problem whatsoever of finding investors.”: Continue reading →

UCSB Student Entrepreneurs Association Website and Eric Amzalag’s Wacky Life

Posted on August 17, 2010 by Eric Amzalag

You probably know that for the past 9 months I’ve been working with a club on campus called the UCSB Student Entrepreneurs Association.

Well that work has had its ups and downs, but we are getting pumped for an AwEsoME 2010-11 school year. Millions of ideas, requiring an Obama sized budget all squeezed into 9 months of school :) – and about $3,000 of yearly dues. We will find a way to work things out – my kind of club.  Continue reading →

Well, heres the reason: We can’t find full time work! The Government we voted in is propogating one of the toughest situations for 18-29 year olds in decades. Thanks Obama :) . Not.

From Mish’s Global Economic Trends:

Underemployment 28.4% for Ages 18 to 29, 18.4% in all Age Groups – Gallup Poll
