Football season is kicking off! Whether you're tailgating on the Quad or in your living room, here are a few genius tips from Buzzfeed to make your tailgate fun and easy.:
- Marinate and pack the meat and toppings the night before
- Freeze water bottles as additional ice packs, then drink them as they thaw
- Use a 6-pack holder to organize condiments and sauces
- Turn a cooler into a warming oven using warm bricks wrapped in foil
- Use a cupcake liner as an "anti-insect" lid on your drinks

Global Corner:
Greece's Golden Visa
|
Greece is an attractive tourist destination, popular for its warm weather and rich history. It is also an attractive option for investment properties, with affordable pricing compared to the rest of Europe and impressive rental yields of up to 10% according to immigrantinvest.com.
Another benefit to buying in Greece is that an investment of 250,000€ (US $268,296.25) will allow you to obtain a Golden Visa which affords you permanent residency as well as other benefits without having to reside in Greece.
If you are interested in investing in Greece, or elsewhere, I can help you find a real estate agent who is the expert in that area!
