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

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.

You will be better off attending some real estate networking events, making some connections and then taking them out for lunch / dinner.The issue with courses and paid mentors is that the support normally stops when you stop paying.If you meet people at networking events, make a genuine connection, it can last forever.Best of luck!

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

The lack of say on big events like a return of capital refi or exit would drive me nuts. 

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

Ben Welcome to AustinWe have a monthly education event on the 2nd Tuesday of each month and a networking event on the 4th Friday. 

Hi everyone,I’m considering buying a 2,500 sq ft commercial property with this deed restriction (in place until 2037):“Neither Grantee nor its successors, assigns or legal representatives, lessees, or sublessees, shall conduct or permit the conduct on the Property of, and the Property shall never be used for:(i) a grocery or convenience store selling at retail any food or food products, dairy products, beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises;(ii) the retail sale of any food or food products, beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages for consumption on or off the premises.”My plan is to use the space as an event venue (birthdays, weddings, baby showers, etc.), where renters bring/cater their own food and drinks.
