Where Do You Find STR & Event Venue Investors? Looking to Wholesale Unique Properties

[John Britt]

Hey BP community 👋

I’m based in Chattanooga, TN, and I’m looking to connect with investors focused on Short-Term Rentals (STRs) and event venues—especially those seeking unique or underutilized properties with upside potential.

Over the past few months, I've come across several off-market deals in and around Chattanooga that I passed on at the time, but I'm realizing they could be perfect fits for STR or event-focused investors. Think:

• Historic homes near downtown or the riverfront
• Properties with acreage or scenic views
• Buildings with flexible layouts or zoning near tourist draws

I’m refining my wholesaling strategy to better serve this niche, and I’d love to hear from those of you who:

• Invest in STRs or event venues in Tennessee or the Southeast
• Know where these investors hang out (online groups, meetups, platforms)
• Have tips on how to market to this audience effectively

If you’ve had success wholesaling to this type of buyer—or you are one—I’d be grateful for any insights. Happy to share deal examples or collaborate if there’s mutual interest.

Thanks in advance for your wisdom and connections 🙌
