Journey To The Music: Tips For Music Festival Travel
(NAPSA)—In the U.S.
alone, there are now more
than 800 music festivals an-
nually, and according to
Nielsen, 32 million people
go to at least one of these fes-
tivals a year, traveling an av-
erage 903 miles to get there.
If you’re one of these travel-
ers, you know how reward-
ing and exhilarating it is to
see some of your favorite
bands beside a few hundred
thousand fellow fans. If not,
you may want to consider
these cool benefi ts of festival
travel.
Explore a new destina-
tion in a unique way. When
you visit a destination during
a festival, you’ll see a com-
pletely different side of the
local culture than you would
normally. At High Water Mu-
sic Festival in Charleston,
South Carolina, for example,
they celebrate the best of
Southern cuisine with local
chefs collaborating on their
favorite dishes for a unique,
family-style dining experi-
ence. Not only do you get to
see the best in Southern mu-
sic, but you get to eat some
of the best Southern cooking,
too.
So much music in one
N eed
L ooking
There are many ways
you can enhance your
experience when you
visit a music festival—
and some of them may
surprise you.
place. Though the price of
tickets ranges dramatically,
with dozens of bands play-
ing, you’re more than likely
to get your money’s worth
by seeing a few of your fa-
vorite artists. Festival go-
ers also get to discover new
and upcoming artists they’d
have never heard before. At
Hangout Music Festival in
Gulf Shores, Alabama, music
ranges from folk to country
to rap to pop, with more than
60 bands scheduled to play
over the span of three days.
Talk about an eclectic mix of
music.
A group experience.
Music festivals typically
serve up something for ev-
eryone, which makes it an
excellent activity for a group
trip. On top of the camara-
derie, you’ll also be able to
split costs. One way to save
is to stay in a vacation rental
home with a company such
as Wyndham Vacation Rent-
als. With amenities that typi-
cally include multiple bed-
rooms, bathrooms, a kitchen,
a washer/dryer and more,
you’ll get way more than you
would by camping out on the
festival grounds.
It’s not all about the
music. Music festivals are
not just about the music any-
more. They are platforms for
philanthropy, sustainability,
fashion and healthy living.
Coachella has been inform-
ing fashion trends and re-
tailers over the past several
years and always includes
some type of sustainability
and charitable component for
guests to be a part of making
a difference in the commu-
nity.

sic festival destinations and

property.

NOTICE
(NAPSA)—Nobody has a secret formula
for successfully investing in real estate, but
brushing up on your fi nancial literacy, digging
deep into market dynamics, understanding
property-specifi c costs and turning to today’s
access to unprecedented data and technology
can lead to more-informed buying decisions.
Here are fi ve tips that can help:
• Rule number one when looking at a
property online. Figure out how the prop-
erty performs today as an investment. You
shouldn’t assume any type of appreciation,
speculation or reduction in expenses over
time. “What you’re buying today is what
you’re going to live with because no one
knows what tomorrow will hold for your
property. Most savvy investors do not specu-
late on what a property might become,” said
Dennis Cisterna, CRO of Investability Real
Estate, Inc.
• A big line item is price. A lot of online
marketplaces will factor price appreciation
into their analysis. Often, this can be mis-
leading because you don’t always have the
knowledge to know whether a market will
appreciate, and making assumptions based on
previous performance can be risky.
• Another factor to consider is rent ap-
preciation. “It can’t be guaranteed and you
shouldn’t speculate that rental increases will
be part of your return. You may assume, if
rents go up, you might see an equal apprecia-
tion in your costs, so your yield may remain
the same,” said Wally Charnoff, CEO of In-
vestability Real Estate, Inc.
• Also, be sure you understand operat-
ing costs. When you own a property far from
home, it can be benefi cial to rely on third-par-
ty providers to manage and repair the home.
Therefore, it’s often best to include costs such
as repairs, capital expenditures, “turn costs”
(when a tenant moves out) and leasing ex-
penses upfront.
• Finally, you must do your due dili-
gence when investing. Regardless of whether
you’re buying across town or across the coun-
try, make sure that the assumptions the seller
uses are in line with the market’s actual costs
and returns. Look for an opportunity based on
