Special events ( example if your lot is right next to stadium ) Pre COVID-19 !!

@Jasmine Hu It's been my experience that bedroom rates for old houses are similar to new construction and sometimes more if they're really close to the bars/football stadium.

But the downtown area is getting built up with the New South End bars and restaurants going in, the new ice rink, the new lacrosse stadium and higher end apartments and hotels.

I purchased a home near the new stadium and we're currently renovating it to rent out.

I am planning to start renting the condo I owned, and, in this area, right across the street from the football stadium, I will most likely attract college students.

Just to put an opposite spin on the overall trend here, since the Rams are moving to the Los Angeles area and building this grand, new, beautiful stadium over in Inglewood, rents hereabouts have been going CRAZY.I hear anecdotal stories about rents doubling and tripling, all at once.

Look around where you want to invest such as the new Braves stadium opening in Cobb county and the new Mercedes Stadium for the Falcons being built.

My buddy has a condo in the old Booth Hospital with views across the river into the Reds stadium. 

The Duplex is located within a few miles of downtown Sacramento/old Sacramento  and lets keep in mind the new Kings stadium is being built. 

Don't even see it because they were hit so hard and haven't noticed the jobs, downtown building, Big events, airport restoration and modernization, occupancy rates, sports teams building state of they art stadiums etc.
