Is your marketing budget gone but you still want to celebrate all of the year-end holidays with a bang?! Here’s a list of 5 inexpensive ways to throw the most amazing holiday events this year:

Follow these steps for the least amount of spend for the most amount of fun!

  1. Host a Hot Cocoa Bar with all of the fixings: sprinkles, marshmallows, syrup, candy canes, and anything else you can think of. Bring out all of your holiday mugs so they can all enjoy the experience. Each of these items can be purchased at your local store for around $1 for an entire package!
  2. Create a beautiful invitation on your computer and e-mail it with a list of Christmas Carols and the words for each song. Meet at the office or a central location and spend the evening having the least expensive event of the year! Hey, throw in some caffeine and sing the night away! Coffee houses offer a traveling carafe for under $20.
  3. Host a philanthropic event such as a sock, toy, and/or food drive. If you sign up with a well known brand, a lot of times they will provide you with free barrels and advertising materials.
  4. Do you happen to have a maintenance guy or friend who will be willing to dress up as Santa? Host a Santa “Meet & Greet” for the kiddos and offer pictures using your cell phone. Most phones these days take amazing photos and there are apps to help you edit the imperfections out. Try a few out in advance to find your favorite. Lastly, post the pictures to your social channels and have all the participants tag themselves!
  5. Host a scavenger hunt to find ingredients at neighbors’ homes to create some type of desert at the office— cookies and brownies are pretty easy. The winners get to hang-out while the losing team has to create the treat for everyone.

Don’t forget to invite everyone you know, not just the residents… The more, the merrier!

New Build-to-Rent Single Family Homes in Demand

The concept of building real estate to rent has been around for quite some time.

However, building new single-family homes for the sole purpose of renting is something new and enticing. Real estate investors and developers are jumping to the opportunity created by housing shortages and to fill the increasing economic demand for build-to-rent single-family homes

During an interview with CNBC in 2019, the executive vice president of SVN/SFRhub Advisors described how much money is ready to be deployed into build-to-rent housing: “We’ve got clients, multiple, well over a couple of billion dollars-worth of capital looking to place in this space.”

Over the next few years, SVN plans to acquire up to 6,000 single-family and build-to-rent homes for its clients. SVN isn’t the only company doing this. Toll Brothers announced a “$60 million joint venture to form a build-to-rent company, according to CNBC in 2019. Additionally, Lennar is experimenting with build to rent communities.”
