This is a blood sport, not a wishful thinking exercise.

Outdoor amenities are a key ROI driver in nearly all markets.None of your amenities strike me as moving the needle for guests to pay more.However, I WOULD consider these ROI-increasing amenities:Cohesive, well-designed interiors, hot tub, golf simulator, pickleball court, mini-putt, sport court, game room, ping pong, bunk beds, kids' playground, pool, washer, dryer, and neon sign

Maybe I am a bit biased as Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is in my backyard and the Disneyworld of Golf - but it seems that in the past five years the sport has exploded in popularity and the numbers back it up? 

Legislators understand where the economic engine is.It also helps that the first $100 million was deployed cleanly—no waste, no drama—so the city walks back into the Capitol with real credibility.This year’s request focuses on building momentum:– Converting vacant downtown buildings into productive space– Upgrading the Belvedere and Convention Center corridor– Advancing LouMed– Improving the Waterfront Amphitheater– Building a modern regional first-responder training campus– Transforming Jefferson Memorial Forest into a meaningful outdoor destination– Expanding sports-tourism facilities that drive steady visitor trafficHousing is another major pillar.

Seven of nine categories saw growth, led by clothing, sports gear, and online shopping.👉 Bottom line: Consumer spending is still holding up — a good sign for the broader economy and another reason the Fed may not rush more cuts just yet.📅 What’s Coming Up This Week• Homebuilder confidence (Tuesday) • Existing home sales (Thursday) • The long-delayed September Jobs Report (Thursday)Catch you next week, Derek Brickley #LoansbyDB

Rental Property Investor from Jacksonville, FLPREVIOUS POSTWhy I sold Cleveland.If you're a real estate podcast junkie like me, you definitely have noticed the clear shift towards real estate syndication in the multi-family space over the last couple of years especially.As deals became harder to find in single family and smaller multis across much of the desirable markets,the allure of pooling investor funds to acquire larger assets became a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.Books that were mostly hurriedly written flooded the market pimping the upsides of this strategy.The argument for was simple and convincing:it is better to own 1% of a large deal than 0% of no deal.Personally,I could not help but notice that the popularity of the idea coincided with the rise of real estate crowdfunding.The likes of Realty Shares and Realty Mogul raised a bajillion dollars practically overnight making it very easy for everyday real estate aficionados to own small bites of a mega deal in rural Tennessee at the click of a mouse.A few of my friends experimented with the crowd-funding route, tossing $5000 into this debt offer and $10,000 into that equity offering.These punts yielded mixed results anecdotally, as an equal number seemed to have great experiences to share as did absolute nightmares.To be fair, no real estate niche is 100% fail-safe or iron clad.Money has been lost in a large single family portfolio as well as a personally purchased medium sized apartment complex.It is also certainly true that in the end, every investor will run out of money to invest in more properties if they decide to go it alone trying to rapidly scale up their portfolio, and real estate is most assuredly a team sport at all levels.

It's certainly nice @Jay Hinrichs although my opinion is biased by my home market and the things we have in the price range is a fair bit of difference: https://www.zillow.com/community/evanswood/452295817_zpid/ and yeah, that pic is not a whopsie, indoor sport-courts a popular thing here. 

I came across this article from Kellogg Insight showing how online sports betting is eating into people’s savings.

When's the last time an online anything sponsored a ski or sport night or little league team in your area?
