So......  I didn't get Lagavulin yet.  

I just got back from Ireland and visited the Midleton Distillery, just east of Cork. What an amazing place—the history, the stories, and the overall experience were incredible. I tried a bunch of Irish whiskeys; some I really enjoyed, while others just felt a bit weak.

My top three were Redbreast 15, Midleton Very Rare, and Blue Spot 7-Year Cask Strength. Later in my travels, I met the son (a bartender) of one of the founding fathers of the Dingle brand in the town of Tralee. Dingle itself is about 75–90 minutes west. They make some amazing whiskey, and I fell in love with their Palace Bar Triple Distilled Sherry Cask. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a bottle. It was the most flavorful whiskey I had, with a higher proof than most Irish whiskeys, along with great aroma and color.

I did the “tourist” thing and picked up two bottles of a Jameson distillery-only release. Nothing too special, but they’ll make nice gifts anyway. Overall, I actually drank more beer than whiskey in Ireland and discovered that there are some lighter lagers that I prefer over Guinness.

One fun shock: after chatting with a few bartenders, I learned that Coors Light is extremely popular in Ireland, two bartenders told me it’s their best seller!

What have you all been up too???

Currently reviewing a 7‑unit in Benton, KY and multifamily packages in Bowling Green and Knoxville MSA.

I’m focused on stabilized deals with dual‑exit strategies (flip or hold) and looking to connect with operators who’ve scaled from small to mid‑sized assets (20–50 units).

If you’re investing in KY/TN or have experience repositioning in secondary markets, let’s connect. Happy to trade deal analysis templates and investor proposal frameworks

Hello everyone,

My name is Patrick and I am an investor actively analyzing value-add and stabilized multifamily deals in the Kentucky and Tennessee markets. My focus is on properties in the 10-40 unit range.

I am looking to connect with and learn from other experienced investors, operators, and potential partners who are active in this region.

If you are investing in these markets, I'd appreciate the opportunity to connect and introduce myself.

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi! I am new at BP and considering STR in the state of Ohio or near by Kentucky, seems like good places for STR are Hocking Hills and/or Red River Gorge. Any thoughts, recommendations about moving forward with a STR, or should consider other options or locations? Thanks

Hey everyone, my name's Cade and I'm 21 years old from Louisville, Kentucky. I'm coming up on my senior year of college and after I get out, I want to buy my first property within a year of getting out. Right now, I believe that I want to find a duplex and go the house hacking route. I have a good amount saved for my down payment already and I am going to continue to save as much as I can over this next year to make my dream a reality. My goal is to use the BiggerPockets Stack method over the next decade to stack properties and be able to become financially free. I would love to hear anyone's personal advice or something that they wish they knew when they were first getting started in their real estate investing journey.
