Quote from @Harry Gamble: My understanding is that livenation would be the ones that own both amphitheaters, and that oak mountain would close.

Like in gambling, the house always wins over time.

Put your money in many other investment options with less of a gamble.

My name is Jay and my wife and I have chosen the Blue Ridge Georgia area to begin our investing strategy with short term rentals (Vacation rentals).

The chosen area in University area of Porto, Portugal.

Are you willing to gamble on that in the future?

I know some inside ppl working there so I guess I could start there I also thought about buying property to lease to cell towers but I believe that’s a bigger gamble

This being your first deal makes it a gamble but if you're really able to get the building at that price you can borrow hard money for the purchase and renovation.
