The Putkela Group’s Post

We recently had the pleasure of attending the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, Michigan! The event reminded us of how important a sense of belonging is, especially at large-scale events. Here are a few tips on how you can foster that sense of belonging: 1. Designate a community manager to focus on the comfort of attendees.  2. Offer accommodations to make sure everyone feels welcome. Cultivating a sense of belonging is essential because it makes people feel safe, comfortable, and able to connect on a deeper level. In our show, *The Nap Time Show*, our characters are always pushing boundaries and asking questions that make families think about concepts like belonging. Whether it's through a trip to DreamWorld or a playdate, belonging is essential to us all. What helps YOU feel like you belong? #belonging #eventmanagement #rocketmortgageclassic #BooneProductions

"I have a new plan for getting a place somewhere warm, VRBO!" So, I have had quite a few clients come to me with this in the last 3-6 months. I am a conservative guy by nature and know how hard it is to run a business, so it won't surprise you that I get a little nervous for clients when they hit me with this idea. I am not a qualified real estate agent or a vacation rental expert, but I understand math and the true emotion of what if feels like to be financially stressed. Separating whether or not VRBOs are a good investment (for which I am not qualified to comment): For the math, I like to see situations where client's could afford the mortgage with or without a renter. In particular, since thousands of additional people have the same idea and are flooding the market, it takes pressure off of figuring out the inner workings of your new business. Either way, having an overall strategy and understanding the affect that buying a second place can have on that strategy is really important--whether or not you choose to rent it out. If you are considering this, we can help you with the math. #moxiewealth
