A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDERS.
A LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EDITOR.
Welcome to REVEL Style Magazine’s seventh issue, and our first to house 92 pages! At REVEL, we pride ourselves on “one-upping” our previous efforts, and issue vii testifies to our desire to consistently move forward with our business mission statement. This year we are proud to have celebrated some major milestones for our real estate brand. Midway through the year, we staged a boat cruise event in Toronto to commemorate the achievement of opening 20 offices across Ontario. Shortly thereafter, we breached the 300 REALTOR® threshold and managed to raise $40,000 through our REVEL Charity Ball to benefit Bethlehem Housing and Support Services. With these blessings fresh in our hearts, we decided to nearly double the production of our emblematic REVEL Style Magazine. This seventh issue continues to feature lifestyle articles synonymous with REVEL Style Culture and the perspectives adapted as a result of living the real estate life, day in and day out. However, this time around we believed it necessary to encompass all that REVEL has achieved in a year’s span, while welcoming so many impressive professionals as REALTORS® and leaders of our brand. Based on this viral interest in REVEL, we anticipate more expansion as we continue to influence, or rather, REVELutionize the real estate industry!
As Editor in Chief of REVEL Style Magazine, I would like to thank our talented team for assisting and collaborating with us to achieve this incredible representation of our brand culture. I would also like to extend gratification for our readership and to those who constantly ask when the next edition will be published. This year’s edition celebrates “The Art of the REVELution,” and the fashionable flamboyance of our growth over 8 years of existence. On pace to expand beyond our provincial and national borders, we invite you to enjoy our storied history as we push the envelope from one issue to the next. As always, there is no better time to Join the REVELution, and without disclaimer, no better way to Be REVELutionary.
REVEL STYLE 05
“to celebrate.” We are happy to celebrate every accomplishment, no matter how big or small, and we value the energy our REALTORS® have invested into their clients with the support of the REVEL Brand. We would like to extend our appreciation to our business sponsors and affiliations who have graced the pages of this magazine with their advertisements. We thank you for your belief in us, and we look forward to benefiting your own business goals with the positive energy stimulated by this magazine.
NICKI & RYAN SERRAVALLE
Most importantly, we are humbled by the love, charity, and generosity inspired by the REVEL brand. Our REALTORS® are professionals who have made it a priority to stay true to our namesake, which means,
As we embark on another season of REVEL Style Magazine, issue vii, we invite the beautiful drama that emanates from working together on a project that challenges the virtues of creativity we hold so dear at REVEL. Our team-first approach to real estate has created a collaborative spirit at REVEL that is embedded in our brokerage’s personality and echoed in our magazine. This year’s seventh edition is a special one. We have collectively decided to increase the page count, citing the exciting ventures experienced over the past year alone as the impetus to take our namesake celebrations to another level. REVEL Style Magazine has always been a symbol that documents REVEL’s growing, REVELutionary influence on the real estate industry and the cultures that spawn from living a real estate driven lifestyle. Inside this edition, you will encounter issues that we feel are important to this culture. You will also delve into relevant sub cultures that invite a respect for diversity, inclusivity, and respect for humanity. Finally, you will witness how we celebrate all that is good and challenging in our lives, while managing to also escape into real estate dreams and travel destinations - one of the trending hallmarks of this issue. In this REVEL Style light, you will also recognize what inspires us at REVEL - a genuine concern for our clients and each other. We realize that business is often referred to as a work family, but we find our work too enjoyable to be limited by such a term, and our family, too valued not to be sincerely loved and appreciated.
DEAN SERRAVALLE
Finally, we invite you to enjoy REVEL Style Magazine issue vii with a nice glass of wine, or a warm cup of coffee. As you sift through the very stories that reflect REVEL’s very own narrative, never underestimate how happy we are to share them with you.

REVELUTIONIZING REAL ESTATE
Such additions at the corporate level have involved the acquisition of a Director of REALTOR® Growth and Development, as well as accounting and deal personnel primed to expect an onslaught of deals and transactional activity. To assuage the balance further, REVEL has continued to provide its REALTORS®, and office head coaches, with the necessary backend collateral befitting a growing company.
As a result, REVEL has welcomed the expansion of offices in Hamilton (Hamilton Central and Hamilton Escarpment), Woodstock, Norfolk, London, and The Kawarthas, while offering opportunities to its REALTORS® and REALTOR® teams to venture into the office management field.
EXPLOSIONEXPANSION
“At REVEL, we continue to hammer down the fundamentals of education, quality mentorship, and the latest technologies, but our spirit and marketing energy has literally reached out from our initial borders with a positive and collaborative power,” explains Ryan Serravalle, founder and Broker at REVEL Realty. “We continue to expect growth, and we have added incredible talent to our corporate structure to accommodate the welcomed changes that come with the potential for more offices.”
“As much as we welcome agents and brokers from other brokerages who wish to Lead a REVELution, as we like to term it, we are so proud of our homegrown REALTORS® who continue to rise up the ranks with promotions, ranging from mentorship leadership to office leadership. We believe in people, and we enjoy celebrating the success and growth of our REALTORS®. These people have shown loyalty and commitment to the brand,” explains Nicki Serravalle, founder/COO/CFO at REVEL, “and we are happy to reward them with opportunities to further their career in this industry.”
With the market consistently fluctuating as it adjusts to government regulations, interest hikes, and the ubiquitous reality of low inventory, REVEL is committed to investing more in its people and offices, as opposed to scaling back.
REVEL goes from 7 offices in southern Ontario to 21 offices throughout Ontario!
With investments in Canadian real estate continuing to surge at record levels, REVEL will aspire to streamline its services to better guide its clients through this tumultuous time in the industry.
REVEL STYLE 13
The term expansion refers to the action of becoming “larger” or more “extensive”, but expanding from 7 to 21 offices during a global pandemic is nothing short of extraordinary. REVEL is excited by its most recent growth spurts as the brand is quickly becoming a household name in homes throughout Ontario and beyond.
“When we were confronted with the pandemic, we were already adjusting and implementing new technological platforms to make the business of trading real estate efficient and effective. We transitioned well, but instead of letting people go, we decided to invite more talent into our structure. That investment has paid incredible dividends for us,” explains Ryan Serravalle.

As a follow up to our Bitcoin Article in issue VI of REVEL Style Magazine, we are focusing this year’s investment currency target on NFTs. Now the talk of the town, and linked to numerous celebrated billionaire investors, NFTs have become the new craze in the race to make fast cash in the cryptocurrency revolution. An NFT is defined as a non-fungible token, an interchangeable digital asset that is traded over the internet. NFTs are generated and traded in cryptocurrency, which is digital cash with an encrypted key often in the form of a random string of numbers. Similar to Bitcoin and relative crypto currencies, the blockchain transactions are direct, and not mediated through a third party. However, although it is built using the same kind of programming associated with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, that’s where the similarities end.

MANIA!NFT
They’re also equal in value. One Bitcoin is always equal to another Bitcoin. The “fungibility” part of it makes it a trusted currency, and accessible for transactions on the blockchain. NFTs on the other hand, have specific digital signatures that make it impossible to exchange equals, hence why they are termed “non-fungible.” One Vintage NHL goal video clip is not the equivalent of a homemade basketball trick shot clip, just because both of them are NFTs. NFTs are generally one of a kind, or at the very least, on a very limited run, while each has a unique, identifying code.
Physical money and cryptocurrencies are “fungible,” meaning they can be traded or exchanged for one another.
are almost always infinite in supply. In theory, cutting off the supply of a valued item raises the value of that item, depending on the demand for that item. NFTs exploit that theory by marketing the scarcity, or recreating the item in a digital format, even if it existed in some other form elsewhere. The aforementioned video clip is an example of recreating digital art to mimic a video easily accessible through other mediums, thereby creating a new and arguable, more fashionable version of the entity. Digital artist, Mike Winklemann, crafted a composite of 5,000 daily drawings to create one of the most famous NFT creations to date - “EVERYDAYS: The First 5000 Days,” sold at Christie’s for a record breaking $69.3 million dollars! You may be
asking what makes an NFT so special, if you can access the original content for free via Instagram or a Youtube video? The answer is quite simple, an NFT allows the buyer to own the original item. The digital currency also contains built-in authentication, which serves as proof and insurance of ownership. Collectors seeking to purchase NFTs appreciate the digital bragging rights of owning almost as much as they appreciate the NFT itself.
So how does it work, and how can you profit from such an investment, or creation for that matter? As noted earlier, NFTs, like Bitcoin, exist on a blockchain, which is a distributed public ledger that records transactions. More specifically, NFTs are hosted on the Ethereum blockchain, although some other blockchains support them as well. An NFT is created, or “minted” from digital objects that represent both tangible and intangible items. For example, Art, Videos, Collectibles, GIFs, Virtual Avatars and Video Game Skins, Designer Sneakers, Music, and even Literature. Most infamously, even Tweets Count. Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey sold his first ever tweet as an NFT for more than 2.9 million.
REVEL STYLE 20
The whole point of the NFT phenomenon is to create what is termed a ‘digital scarcity,’ which stands in contrast to most digital creations, which
BUT IS THE REAL RISK CHASING THE REWARD, AS IT IS WITH BITCOIN & OTHER CRYPTO?
The jury is still out, although an investor in this digital landscape must understand that just like anything valuable in any market, an NFT’s value is based entirely on what someone else is willing to pay for it. Therefore, the old adage of supply and demand comes into play more so than current economical or global investing climates. So why not place all of your money on an ugly digital monkey - he may sing you a circus song as melodic as the sound of money escalating in your bank account. Or just sit back and spectate, while this craze attempts to push its way into your investment portfolio. Either way, NFTs aren’t going away anytime soon.
First and foremost, you will need to acquire a digital wallet that allows you to store NFTs and cryptocurrencies. Also, you will most likely need to purchase some cryptocurrency, like Ether, depending on what currencies your NFT provider accepts. You can buy crypto

or the editor, to validate the art, the artist can sell directly to the consumer as an NFT, which also provides better profit margins and less profit sharing. And the notion of art has also diversified as a result of NFTs. Brand names have auctioned off NFT art, while GIFs have sold for record amounts.
using a credit card on platforms like Coinbase, Kraken, eToro and even Paypal, as well as Robinhood now. You will then be able to move it from the exchange to your wallet of choice. Also, note, like most investments, NFTs are also subject to capital gain taxes, just like selling stocks at a profit.
“So how do you buy investmentthese firecrackers?”
Think of NFTs like any other collector item, except digital. So instead of a first edition Hemingway to store on the shelf, you are getting a digital file of Old Man in the Sea. Once again, the difference being, the owner gets exclusive ownership rights. It is definitely possible to be the only owner at one particular juncture in time. And like Bitcoin, NFTs unique data makes it easy to verify ownership and transfer tokens between owners. The owner or creator can also store specific information inside the NFT. For example, artists can sign their artwork by including their signature in the NFTs Interestinglymetadata.enough, the blockchain technology and NFT capability presents an interesting monetization opportunity to the concept of the starving artist.

Considered the largest northern city in Ontario by population, and top five in Canada with regards to land area, Sudbury comprises an urban core and numerous smaller communities scattered around 330 lakes and hills of rock.

Led by successful head coaches of REVEL Grimsby, Dillon Parnell and Ashley Morris, REVEL Hamilton Escarpment compliments REVEL’s growing presence in the Hamilton sector.

Traditionally, Hamilton accepted its identity by virtue of a local economy led by steel and heavy manufacturing industries. However, in the last decade or so, there has been a shift towards the service sector, and more specifically, the health and sciences.

IN A PUBLIC SKY. PRIVATEFLYINGWRITTENBYDEANSERRAVALLEIT’SCLOSERTOEVERYDAYREALITYTHANYOUTHINK. IS FLYING PRIVATE A FEASIBLE OPTION? REVEL STYLE 33
N
ow that the global pandemic is funneling into the reality of less restrictions and the elimination of mask mandates, travel and the ability to travel is trending, while the process of travel is adopting new and renewed conveniences to better service the ominous downfalls of “travel time.” One such convenience, gaining momentum, is the resurgence of flying private over commercial. Notwithstanding the obvious benefits, travelers are beginning to prioritize the “act of traveling” over the actual arrival to the destination. Once considered a necessary evil, or often termed, the “travel day,” the process of getting from point A to point B has become just as important as reaching the ideal paradise.
It depends on the time and destination, as well as the goal for the destination. When you purchase a seat on a commercial airline, you get that one seat, and that’s all. The cost multiplies with each person. However, flying private can offer advantages if, per say, you are bringing another seven people on that last minute trip to Las Vegas. If you are flying, say, from Toronto to New York, and it is a one hour flight, you are paying $10,000 total, that’s if you were to fly first class (charged per
Whether traveling for business or pleasure, chartered private jets allow passengers to minimize time to destination and maximize effectiveness. If time is more valuable than the disposable funds allocated to other aspects of your trip, then cutting the number of hours spent waiting in lines, registering luggages and worrying about delays, is an optimal decision when flying privately. However, is it worth that additional cost?
Thereseat.)
REVEL STYLE 34
For a lighter jet, flying private begins at $5,500 per hour to start, while midsize jets begin at $6200 per hour. Super-mid size jets begin at $12,000 per hour to start while larger jets begin at $15,000. So why not fly premium economy upgrade instead, which can land anywhere between a $700-$1200 upgrade?
is no question, those numbers are quite large. However, there is a lot more to the story of price than meets the eye. With a commercial aircraft, your seat is rented for a short timeframe. You get that one seat and that’s all. Want to travel with more than one person? If so, the cost multiplies with each time. It doesn’t matter if you’re flying solo or if you’ve got other people with you, the cost remains the same on a per hour basis. For a group of seven people, once again, the price difference shrinks. In some cases, and with larger groups chartering smaller private jets, it can be more cost effective in the long run.
The cons of flying private jets in this “time of travel” context obviously comes with longer trips that require larger and more expensive planes with longer ranges on fuel tanks. However, price shouldn’t always be the deciding factor, especially if you value amenities.
Before moving on, let’s address the obvious elephant in the roomincreased prices. Yes, flying private can incur more traveling costs, and will often present the dilemma of allocating funds where they don’t necessarily need to be dispersed. However, if there is some disposable money to introduce the choice, many are finding it a beneficial option, depending on the destination and travel time.
This includes a vast array of catering options for clients at many private airline charters. Most private jets come equipped with the crew and gear needed to accommodate just about any request. Need a birthday cake prepared and cut? They’ve got it covered. Have a specific brand of champagne you prefer? They’ll find it and ensure it’s chilled and ready to go before you taxi down the runway. Private jet charters will go to incredible lengths to ensure the needs of their passengers are met and exceeded.
Once considered a service hoarded by lofty CEO’s and billionaire personali ties, flying private has become more and more reachable to the savvy traveler who can crunch numbers and realize benefits. Once considered too elite or too elevated, the sky is no longer the limit when it comes to traveling the way you want to travel in the 21st century.
Amenities are one of the major advantages for private jet travel over the lush but still spartan commercial jet first class experience. On almost every private jet chartering experience, you are going to receive the “Very Important Person” experience. Even on the shortest of flights, this will typically involve well-plat ed foods, multi-course meals, sandwiches, pastries and more. Free drinks, champagne and alcoholic beverages are almost always available amenities.
flyers have no need to stand in long, stifling security lines common at larger airports. Having to do so is extremely time consuming and almost every time it is needed, even with such services as TSA Pre-Check for travelers in and out of the United States.
Commercialtime.
To most average people, it can be easy to picture flight in private jets as the epitome of “excess”. For many, this carries the same lavish symbolism as riding around in a Rolls Royce, or partying on a massive yacht. However, what makes private jet flight more economical than many realize is the value of a person’s
airliners will only have access to larger airports. If a traveler is flying to attend meetings that may be far from the nearest city or large airport location, some significant driving time is going to need to be tacked on to the total travel time. Alternatively, a private jet can be utilized to fly into a closer, smaller airport. Oftentimes, this gets customers in this situation to their meet ing faster and far more efficiently than commercial alternatives, plus the time needed to Additionally,drive.private
As companies who own and operate private jet chartering services aren’t looking to fly their jets out without passengers present, oftentimes they are more than willing to wait on their customers if they happen to be flying back in the same day. The courtesy provided with this avoids the need to schedule meetings around haphazard and sporadic schedules common with commer cial flights. We all know how often flights are canceled and delayed as well.
Additionally, executives can conduct meetings and get work done far more easily on private jets than commercial flights, so time in the air goes unwasted. Also in play is the factor of reliability. Missing a crucial meeting because your flight got delayed due to unforeseen circumstances is something that some can’t afford to risk.
REVEL STYLE 35
On private jets, things go far and beyond what you’d experience in first class or business class cabins on commercial airliners. Due to the customizable and “bespoke” nature of chartering a private jet, you and your group can typically place a request for any type of amenity to be made available on your flight.

RECOMMEND TURKS & CAICOS ABOVE ANYWHERE ELSE?
Luxury meets all Inclusive combinations - a family-friendly place with service levels second to none.
I recommend these islands to anyone wanting to treat themselves to something truly special, wanting more than the usual all-inclusive. Families with children of all ages will have an amazing time here, and being a step above, you’ll never be crammed into a small pool with screaming kids - you can still relax and refresh and actually get that feeling just like you’re one of the people on the cover of the brochure.
WHAT DISTINGUISHES THIS TRAVEL DESTINATION FROM OTHERS?
Everything you would expect in the finest all-inclusives, with amazing beach activities, water park, and so many things to see and do, it feels like several resorts all in one. The food is not only incredible (from jerk chicken on the beach, to oceanside formal dining), but they also have a Culinary Concierge to truly take care of guests with special dietary needs like we have, no matter what the requirement. Tipping is not permitted, it is all included, so it allows to you be in full relax mode the entire time during your stay.
With North American and British influence meshing with Caribbean hospitality and kindness, as Canadians we feel very welcome here - in fact, there have been invitations for Turks and Caicos to become a part of Canada on more than one occasion!

One of the distinguishing factors of Aruba compared to other islands is the safety. You will never feel safer on vacation than in Aruba. No armed guards walking around. Small quaint island that you can explore in a day or two. Also they have the 2nd largest desalination plant in the world. Their tap water is better than ours. You don’t need to drink from water bottles. Guaranteed weather, where it rarely rains and is around 85 degrees everyday and 78 every night all year round.
The people. Aruban natives are genuinely incredibly friendly and happy people. They go the extra mile to make sure you enjoy their home. The culture of Aruba is an amalgamate of the various cultures that have occupied the island including indigenous peoples of South America, European colonial descendants and African influences.

Driving around the island, you’ll notice that there are no traffic lights or busy roadways. You will see mountains with the occasional goat, and sand dunes to the north-east. Fuerteventura is definitely the place for peace and relaxation as opposed to bars and nightlife.
The name Islas Canarias is derived from the Latin name Canariae Insulae, meaning “Islands of the Dogs”. Implying, the Canary islands are named after dogs and that Canary birds are named after the islands.

The island was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2009. It is located 97 km from the northwest African coast and has 150 kilometres of picture-perfect beaches and the famous sand dunes of Corralejo. If surfing is your sport, there is excellent surfing on the western side of the island.

If there is one delicacy that stands out in Fuerteventura, it’s the cheese. ‘Majorero cheese’ is one of two cheeses from the Canary Islands with a protected designation of origin to distinguish this product of longstanding tradition in the archipelago and on this island in particular.
The mix of sand dunes to the north-east and white sand beaches throughout. The Canary Islands are the “Carribean Islands for Europeans”.
The all inclusive resorts and hotels are great for families and are dispersed throughout the different parts of the island. I prefer the H10 Tindaya located on the Costa Calma, with direct access to the spectacular white sand beach of Sotavento on the southern part of the island. It stands out for its spacious swimming pools, lush gardens and spectacular sea views.

SHORT TERM RENTALHigh Reward Gains
VALUATE THE PROPERTY... PROPERLY
Property valuation is essential in the acquisition of financing for your purchase, and if performed accurately and “properly”, it will aid in the negotiation of listing price while eliminating the stress of obtaining short term rental insurance. Using a Sales Comparison approach to compile comparable sales in the area with similar characteristics, a Cost Approach, which is suitable to new build short term rentals as it evaluates land and construction, or an Income Approach to estimate or determine cash inflows, will provide the proper perspective when taking that financial leap to delve into short term rentals.
INVESTOR FACT
21 REVEL STYLE 50
At REVEL, we’ve broken down some criteria to consider when seeking a short term rental to maximize in your investment portfolio. While some pointers may be obvious, there are intricate nuances one should compare and contrast to achieve optimal profit margin feasibility.
As real estate markets continue to diversify into multiple, niche markets, many real estate in vestors are electing to allocate funds toward short term rental properties. Once relegated solely to hot vacation spots, or destination locales, short term rental investments, if staged properly with the correct legal paperwork, can prove both profitable and enjoyable to the own er. Offering versatility as well as the opportunity to exploit location and seasonal recreational potential, short term rental investments are as intriguing as they are sensible to the real estate investor.
Following the old adage continues to assume leadership of all important factors, in terms of optimizing the margins on a short term rental unit. However, location doesn’t necessarily imply on the water, or nestled on a mountain with cityline viewscapes. Proximity to amenities, green space, separation from neighbors, and accessibility of major highways, and local recreation areas, are paramount when considering an affordable short term rental. If you are expecting an area to evolve, or if you are seeking a short term rental in an area that is developing and providing some interesting outlets, like community centers or strip malls, you are most likely to attract visiting, short term tenants. A good way to complete your due diligence is to contact city or town halls to inquire into city planning and upcoming developments. In doing so, you will obtain location benefits that are marketable on any short term rental website.
Buying today means profitting tomorrow as value tends to increase with time, like an aged wine.
LOCATION
Are you buying with the intent to sell in the long-term? Perhaps you are seeking an investment that will create an income, but appreciate in value towards a retirement liquidation plan?
Cash flow refers to how much money you have left over after expenses. Obviously, a positive cash flow is the goal, as it will offer increasing sales value to your short term rental if it achieves a good rate of return.
34 REVEL STYLE 51
Always consider any real estate investment two to three steps ahead, and this advice applies to short term rentals as it does to any investment, like real estate, which is often considered low liquidity but high long term value. Consider the following:
Once again, consider outside factors like inflation, which favors landlords over tenants, and more so, with short term rentals, whose rates are easier to increase in the short term. And don’t forget the benefits of depreciating your property for tax benefits, not to mention the cost-benefit analysis of renovation before sale to get a better price for your property. Finally, never underestimate the cost-benefit analysis of mortgaged loans against value appreciation, which can increase to allow you flexibility to buy more short term rentals.
Are you buying and ALSO self-using? In this scenario, you are gaining two benefits.
PURPOSE OF INVESTMENT
ESTABLISH EXPECTATIONS FOR CASH FLOW AND PROFIT MARGINS
Are you solely buying and leasing for the purpose of establishing a game plan for a regular income and long-term value appreciation? If this is the case, you become a landlord and should familiarize yourself with the details of that management job description, which can include legal issues, tenant selection, repair work, and maintenance.
SHOULD YOU INVEST IN NEW CONSTRUCTION, SHORT TERM RENTALS, OR AN EXISTING PROPERTY?
Furthermore, investing in short term rental properties can be very lucrative, and if prepared for in advance, challenges and even obstacles can be mitigated expertly to reduce stress and ensure sustainable rental income. Landlords are often stigmatized for what they don’t do, when many often underestimate the broad array of skills required to perform this managerial duty, from understanding basic tenant law to fixing leaking faucets.
REVEL STYLE 52
Existing properties offer immediate convenience, faster access, established improvements (i.e. landscaping), and in many instances, lower costs.
MARKET FLUCTUATIONS
New construction offers interesting prospects, as it proposes attractive pricing, options to customize according to your short term rental and personal benefit needs, and is often situated in an area with modern amenities. Risks involved with new construction are delays, increased costs and supply chains, and neighborhood development completion.
Short Term Rental Investments are trending, however, for all of the right reasons. They provide a versatile option and incredible upside for future real estate investments.
Markets are constantly fluctuating, so keep tabs on market trends throughout your tenure as a landlord, as data may prove to be both beneficial and cautionary.
Some important pointers for the new construction side include reviewing past projects and the construction company’s reputation. For existing properties, review deeds, surveys, and appraisal reports. Consider monthly maintenance costs, outstanding dues, and taxes. Also, look into rentcontrols, lease renewals, owned furnishings if you are acquiring pre-existing short term rentals. These pre-existing conditions may alter profit margins and future appreciation/depreciation of the property.
If you are investing in any type of real estate with an investment perspective in mind, it is always recommended that you study the market(s) you are considering for a period of time. In doing so, you can assess values, trends, and potential niche areas to exploit. For example, renting a waterfront property affords the opportunity to rent fishing boats, bunkies, and lofts to supplement your property rental income. Be sure to look into potential to flip and fly options, property inventory in the area, and whether new developments are impinging upon aspects that can inhibit your rental’s performance, like noise pollution, etc.

Notwithstanding its worldwide recognition as the highest class of international racing (open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars), Formula 1, oftentimes referred to as F1, carries a sexy speed mystique in its DNA, unlike any other in the sports universe. From storied driver rivalries to supreme engineering innovations, Formula 1 Racing has evolved into a modern gladiator type mecca with weapons of swift celerity. For those of you, like me, whose limited understanding of the sport is relegated to brief highlights and celebratory wins characterized by exorbitant champagne spraying, Formula 1 Racing might seem insignificant, or perhaps even locally irrelevant with transponded television coverage reserved solely for early Sunday mornings. However, on international terms, Formula 1 Racing commands a respect unparalleled by sports enthusiasts, far and wide.
NEED FOR SPEED THE
very high cornering speeds achieved through a generation of large amounts of aerodynamic downforce.
If such engineering jargon doesn’t tickle your fancies, perhaps the money invested in the sport might. On average, the cost of running a racing “team,” which includes designing, building, maintaining cars, pay and transport runs approximately $247 million(U.S.) average, a year! Factor in powerhouse car emblems, private versus corporate investment squabbles, young, kamikaze celebrity drivers, and the marketing dogfights of brand names, and you have a sport embedded with every type of conflicteconomic, political, and yes, even personal. Citing the last decade alone, Mercedes has accomplished a coup in the racing world once dominated by a Ferrari dynasty.
REVEL STYLE 77
First and foremost, Formula One cars are the fastest regulated road-course racing cars in the world, owing to
A brief education: The word “Formula” in the name refers to the set of rules to which all participants’ cars must conform. A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known as Grand Prix, which take place worldwide on both purpose-built circuits and closed public roads. Each driver must hold a valid “Super License,” the highest class of racing license issued by the FIA. Finally, the “1” refers to the tracks on which the races take place that must be graded “1,” the highest grade-rating issued by the FIA.
So what makes the sport sexy and why is interest in the phenomenon gaining momentum with every race?
Characterizing the sexy mystique even further are the international venues that stage each race. From Monaco to Melbourne to France and Miami, the backdrops for these races create fantasy, video game realities set against the impossibility of human beings intent on controlling unspeakable speeds and advancements in technology.
REVEL STYLE 78
REVEL STYLE 79
At REVEL, many of us have come to appreciate the Formula One dynamic for no other reason than to marvel at the adaptability of the sport,
Speed, power, money, and beauty are definitely bound to make the sexy checklist, but never underestimate the fierce competition and stakes associated with every race in Formula One. The current manufacturer and driver rivalry for points is as dramatic as the ad decals gracing the chassis. This year’s neck and neck race pits Ferrari versus Red Bull, and features young and already accomplished drivers, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen. With a world championship at stake, and the prestige of joining such notable legends as Shumacher, Senna, and Prost, tensions are high and the pole position for number one in the world of Formula one, is a prize worthy of every attention to detail, which only seems to magnify the trajectory of drama as each car stretches toward the checkered flag and an ominous finish line.
Formula One racing, although popular and storied in its history for decades, has found a new international audience consumed with the combination of technology, engineering, suspense and record level speeds associated with the sport. And with every expertise, investment and life risk associated with the sport directed at the accumulation of championship points, Formula 1 has become a legitimate, and ongoing soap opera for sports fans across the globe, not to mention some real estate afficianodes at REVEL.
and the insistence on teamwork, synchronicity, and strategy - all principles REVEL works to implement into our day to day business oppositions, recently challenged by what has become a fast paced racing track - the real estate market. Similarly, the very adrenaline rush-like nature of real estate allows us to appreciate a sport intent on generating positive energy into a “need for speed.”
