I've noticed some accounts can get property, while the others get rackets.
Rackets are a feature that Zynga is testing and it is not available to everyone as yet. It seems that all new accounts have access to this feature as well as some current accounts.
if you don't have a property tab in Mafia Wars, you have the rackets tab. that's where you can get your money.
