I would say most people gloss over this sentence, but this seems like something worth investigating... Am I wrong?  (Can leads actually come from the news like this, or by the time the AP picks this up investors are already positioned to address it.)

"Finding a hotel room, parking space or table at a restaurant is no longer easy."

If I am am not alone in my thinking respond below.  I am new to BP and would love to hear insight from the community.

    There are always going to be investors with better information than you who will get the jump on things. Big time investors perform their own research and analysis of markets they are interested in and make investment decisions based off of their findings. Personal investors are not really competing with these big investors though. Real estate is so location specific and fragmented that there will always be opportunities for smaller players. Getting in ahead of big macro events is great but not essential to profitable investing.
