Tennessee Governor Signs Full Repeal of Sales Taxes on Gold and Silver
With Governor Bill Lee’s signature on Friday, Tennessee has officially become the 42nd state in the U.S. to remove sales taxes from constitutional sound money (i.e., gold and silver) Nashville, TN / With Governor Bill Lee’s signature on Friday, Tennessee has officially become the 42nd state in the U.S. to remove sales taxes from constitutional sound money (i.e., gold and silver). Tennessee’s House Bill 1874 and Senate Bill 1857, introduced by Representative Bud Hulsey (R-2) and Senator Frank Niceley (R-8) passed both chambers of the Tennessee legislature overwhelmingly last month and took effect immediately upon the Governor’s signature at the start of Memorial Day weekend. Substantial grassroots support tipped the balance. During the Senate floor vote, Senator Janice Bowling (R-16) commented, “I’d just want to thank the senator for bringing forward this bill along with half of the state of Tennessee that contacted all of us!” The victory puts a capstone on long-running efforts by the Sound Money Defense League, Money Metals Exchange, Campaign for Liberty, and grassroots activists and coin dealers in Tennessee. Tennessee investors, savers, and small businesses can now acquire gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion and coins without being slapped with taxes as high as 10%, depending on the purchaser’s specific location. Lead sponsor Hulsey said, “I’ve been working to free gold and silver from sales taxes in Tennessee since my kids were in elementary school. The Sound Money Defense League, in-state dealers, and folks all across Tennessee made their voices heard and helped get this bill across the finish line.” Meanwhile, similar bills have recently been under consideration in Kentucky, Mississippi, Hawaii, Maine, Wisconsin, and New Jersey, as the nation’s inflation problem expands and as the national backlash against taxing constitutional money expands. Including Tennessee, 42 U.S. states now fully or partially exempt gold and silver from the sales taxes. That leaves 8 just states and the District of Columbia as the primary jurisdictions that still harshly penalize citizens seeking to protect their savings against the serial devaluation of the Federal Reserve Note. States have been removing sales taxes from monetary metals for the following reasons: *** Taxing precious metals is unfair to certain savers and investors. Gold and silver are held as forms of savings and investment. States do not tax the purchase of stocks, bonds, ETFs, currencies, and other financial instruments, so it makes no sense to tax monetary metals. *** Levying sales taxes on precious metals is illogical because gold and silver are inherently held for resale. Sales taxes are typically levied on final consumer goods. Precious metals are inherently held for resale, not “consumption,” making the application of sales taxes on precious metals illogical and especially inappropriate. *** Taxing gold and silver harms in-state businesses. It’s a competitive marketplace, so buyers in states with precious-metals sales taxes often take their business to neighboring states that have eliminated or reduced sales tax on precious metals. Investors can easily avoid paying $136.50 in sales taxes, for example, on a $1,950 purchase of a one-ounce gold bar. Therefore, levying sales tax on precious metals harms in-state businesses, who lose business to out-of-state precious metals dealers. Coin conventions also tend to avoid the sales tax states. *** Taxing precious metals is harmful to citizens attempting to protect their assets. Purchasers of precious metals aren’t fat-cat investors. Most who buy precious metals do so in small increments as a way of saving money. Precious metals investors are purchasing precious metals as a way to preserve their wealth against the damages of inflation. Inflation harms the poorest among us—including pensioners, Tennesseans on fixed incomes, wage-earners, savers, and more. Jp Cortez, policy director for the Sound Money Defense League, noted in his testimony before the Tennessee House Finance, Ways, and Means Committee that “the vast majority of states realize that taxing sound money harms in-state investors, in-state businesses, and even state revenues.” Cortez continued: “At a time of record high inflation, Tennessee shouldn’t be punishing citizens with sales taxes for choosing to protect the purchasing power of their savings with sound money.” Having eliminated sales taxes on the monetary metals, Tennessee will rise from 36th in the Sound Money Index to 9th place among the 50 states.

Australian proptech InspectRealEstate (IRE) releases innovative headhunter-style solution for rental applications
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA / IRE’s newest innovation in leasing – 2Apply FindMe – is already producing results for agents. Within days of the feature being released, an IRE client successfully found a great renter and leased a property, thanks to IRE’s unique applicant-matching solution. FindMe allows prospective tenants to promote themselves and their property preferences to agents, similar to recruitment ‘headhunting’. Since its release on 5 May 2022, more than 27,000 prospective tenants have shared their rental tenancy application profiles with agents. How does it work? Prospective tenants with a 2Apply profile are now able to make their profile public for agents to view. This includes information about who would be living in the property, their income and their employment status. Agents using the IRE software solution can view public profiles and if a prospective tenant matches the property criteria, they are able to invite the matching tenants to view and apply for the property. David Deane Real Estate was the first agency to find and place a tenant through the 2Apply FindMe service. An applicant was sent an invite last Friday at 2pm; they had applied by 6:20pm and were soon approved and paid for the property! “We were excited to try this new feature from IRE as we pride ourselves on innovation. We were thrilled it worked so well and so quickly. With so many great tenants missing out on rental properties it just makes sense to offer qualified applicants our new properties first, before advertising to the general market and wasting days or weeks.” Mark Rumsey, David Deane Real Estate. IRE CEO Andrew Reece said: “Thanks to our property management software, 2Apply Find Me turns the property searching process on its head by allowing prospective tenants to promote themselves to agents. All the agent has to do is choose the best one and invite them to apply – just find them, then sign them.” To learn more about 2Apply FindMe, please visit www.inspectrealestate.com.au.

Win for Workforce Communities and Investor Portfolios
Acquisition of Cottage Court Apartments enhances workforce housing in Tampa, while also providing an attractive investment opportunity. Largo, FL / The nation’s top housing analysts agree that the supply of affordable workforce housing in many areas of the United States has steadily lagged behind the demand. A wide swath of workforce housing communities in the Southeast in particular are located in aging apartment complexes that provide their residents with less-than-optimal living conditions. This is the case in the Tampa Metro Area, which, due to the robust local economy, has experienced significant inbound migration in recent years. Randy Lawrence, CEO of Prosperity Capital Partners, strives to make the Tampa MSA an even better place to live for this influx of working Americans. With the recent acquisition of Cottage Court Apartment Homes, a 92-unit Multifamily complex in the Tampa MSA, Lawrence furthers his mission to improve the living conditions and the community for residents. “I’m proud of how we at PCP are working to provide affordable workforce housing. A big piece of our corporate mission is to improve the lives of regular working Americans. This acquisition also provides our private investors the opportunity to participate in this mission, which I view as a major win for everybody,” Lawrence said. Lawrence is particularly focused on expanding the affordable housing stock in the Florida market. Cottage Court is just one of several recently acquired apartment communities in the state. After the acquisition of these communities, Prosperity Capital Partners typically begins a process of updating and modernizing each of the apartment units, as well as the common areas, in order to create better living conditions for the residents. Within three years of acquisition of one of these apartment complexes, they will have been fully renovated, thus improving the surrounding communities and serving to attract hardworking families to a part of Tampa experiencing high job growth. By acquiring and then adding value to these apartment communities, Prosperity Capital Partners also creates an opportunity for individual investors to participate passively as Limited Partners. For more information about Prosperity Capital Partners’ multifamily investment opportunities, contact them at 727-274-9200 About Prosperity Capital Partners In business since 2003, Prosperity Capital Partners currently owns or manages 2,200 units in the Sunbelt, with a portfolio value of $250MM. Its mission is to provide secure, long-term investment opportunities to private investors in order to create generational wealth through passive income and significant tax advantages while making impactful improvements in the apartment communities they own and manage so that residents experience a better quality of life. 12945 Seminole Blvd Building 1 Suite 15Largo, Florida Media Contact Randy Lawrenceinfo@pcpre.net727-274-9200
Legacy Tree Company Helps Corrales Citizens with Tree Health
Tree Service Company Spends Arbor Day Educating the Public About Parasitic Mistletoe Albuquerque, NM / There wouldn’t be a more suitable way for a tree service company to spend Arbor Day than educating the public on how to take care of the trees in a drought-stressed environment. Anyone in Corrales, New Mexico, knows that the threat of mistletoe to the stately cottonwoods is a significant concern. So Legacy Tree Company put on a free public demonstration, showing how they remove the parasitic plant at La Entrada Park, right next to the Corrales Library. To learn more about Legacy Tree Company, visit https://legacytreecompany.com/. While mistletoe is a native species, the ongoing drought in Corrales and much of New Mexico has created an environment where mistletoe is now taking over cottonwood trees. The massive cottonwoods are a source of pride for the town of Corrales, and their prevalence in the Bosque is iconic. To lose them to mistletoe would be a tragedy. Legacy Tree Company owner, Harrison O’Connor explained, “Everything is so drought-stressed, and we’re seeing the ramifications of chronic drought. We wanted to show the community tree climbing techniques professionals can use to help mitigate mistletoe to help maintain the health of their trees.” The event gathered a good crowd. The Legacy team served coffee and bagels and performed the climbing and pruning demonstration. They focused on mechanical control as the most effective method to control and prevent the spread of mistletoe. Sales technician, Kayla Bryant, shared, “[ISA Certified Arborists] Harrison O’Connor and Aaron Bumgarner were both up in the tree identifying in real-time the best pruning cuts, actually removing the mistletoe and bringing it down to all of us on the ground to get a closer look.” Bryant also shared that Legacy Tree Company is so grateful to be working with the citizens of Corrales to protect one of their most valuable assets. About Legacy Tree Company Legacy Tree Company is a tree service company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that is raising the standard for innovative, ethical tree care. Their mission is to sustain the Albuquerque urban forest for generations with services like tree pruning, removal, consultations, and irrigation. 100 El Pueblo Rd NW Unit AAlbuquerque, NM Media Contact Kayla Bryantkaylamarie@legacytreecompany.com423 618 0759

Colibri Google Analytics Tableau Dashboard is Launched by Dev3lop
The New Colibri Google Analytics Tableau Dashboard is Designed to Help Improve Tableau Server Meta Data Collection AUSTIN, TX / Dev3lop, a tech startup based in Austin, Texas, is pleased to announce the launch of their Colibri Google Analytics Tableau Dashboard. To learn more about the new dashboard and how it can help with Google analytics and other tasks, please visit https://dev3lop.com/google-analytics-tableau-dashboards-colibri/. As a company spokesperson noted, when people are in a Tableau Training, they typically do not learn about the importance of meta data creation. Instead, they hear about the features that consolidate user experiences, which in turn often creates more work and lowers the amount of traffic they could be building. This lack of correct training usually means that people will not understand what data is being tracked and not tracked. In addition, if people have never generated a dashboard using this data, they have never made a decision on tableau usage. Thanks to the new and free Colibri Google Analytics Tableau Dashboard from Dev3lop, everybody will now get the chance to learn a new way of building Tableau dashboards. “Using Colibri you will be able to begin seeing how you could create your data product to be more successful,” the spokesperson noted, adding that Dev3lop built Colibri is based on feedback from enterprise companies who have asked the startup to generate data products with Tableau desktop. “The end game of a Tableau data product completed means your team now has access to meta data for further discovery.” The new dashboard was created to be exceptionally intuitive and user-friendly. For example, navigation buttons are strategically used to drill into screenshot friendly charts and data tables. The usage of the navigation generates meta data about how end users are utilizing the google analytics tableau dashboards. “Then it’s up to your team to capitalize on that knowledge to make that data or knowledge easier to access,” the spokesperson noted. About Dev3lop Dev3lop.com is a grassroots tech startup based out of Austin, Texas. They offer tailored consulting solutions to their customers across an array of services, with a major focus on data analytics and tableau consulting service engagements.

Absolute Real Estate Sells Property Management Company
Private Rio Rancho Brokerage Turns Focus to Helping People Buy and Sell Homes Rio Rancho, NM / When qualifying broker, Michael Schlichte, started Absolute Real Estate in 2008, it grew hand in hand with a sister company, Absolute Property Management. The team found that the two services went together naturally. But after over a decade of balancing both businesses, Schlichte recently sold the property management side of the business to focus solely on buying and selling homes and building up his brokerage and agents. To learn more about Absolute Real Estate, visit https://my505home.com/. From the start of the Absolutes businesses, many people who invested in real estate turned to a property management company to manage their investment. As both businesses grew, it became clear to Schlichte that he wanted to narrow his focus. So, he sold the property management business in September 2021 to Home River Group, a national property management company. Schlichte explained, “We have a great working relationship with Home River Group. We even continue to share an office space. So if any of our real estate clients invest in property and are looking for help managing it, we can send them right over and know that they are in good hands.” With the tasks of the property management business off their plate, Absolute Real Estate can focus on serving their customers who are buying and selling homes in Rio Rancho and the surrounding areas. Absolute Real Estate is a private brokerage with ten realtors. Schlichte has been a top 5% producer in Rio Rancho for the last ten years. So aside from continuing to buy and sell homes, he is looking forward to continuing to grow and develop his team, providing more reliable real estate services throughout the region. About Absolute Real Estate Absolute Real Estate is a private real estate agency in Rio Rancho, NM. They find good homes for great people in the greater Albuquerque area and specialize in buying and selling homes, as well as real estate investing. 661 Quantum Rd NE Suite 11Rio Rancho, New Mexico Media Contact Michael Schlichtemike@my505home.com505-318-6264

New App Combivino Pairs over 900 Types of Wine and 76 Styles of Beer with 2,000 Recipes: English Version Launched Worldwide
The first virtual sommelier is now available online – Combivino is the smart app that pairs 2,000 recipes to hundreds of wine labels and over 70 types of craft beers. Rome, Italy / Combivino, the leading app that enables the pairing of wine and beer with food, is now available in English and all over the world. Combivino is the first app that pairs wine and craft beers with food simultaneously via smart matching: there are almost 2,000 regional and international recipes, over 900 types of wine and 76 beer styles. The application is free to download from Google Play and the App Store and enables everyone to discover the basics of wine tasting. A success that stems from Italy and numbers over 1 million interactions including clicks and internal searches with an increasing number of downloads on the Italian market alone. A boom of downloads is expected for the English version. The global wine and beer market reaches astonishing figures. According to Statista, the wine segment is set to reach $366 billion in 2022 while that of beer will reach $643 billion, with an estimated growth ratio of around 7% for the next few years. Combivino is a ‘Virtual Sommelier’ ideal for consulting the wine list in a restaurant or choosing the right bottle in the wine shop or supermarket. But the app is also a great opportunity to ‘flaunt’ your knowledge with business partners, partner or friends. The app is also useful for sector experts to learn more about pairings with little known wines and beers in their multiple nuances and geographical indications. Federica Zevi explains: “our wine classification system is based on the body and prevailing organoleptic note. The body goes hand in hand with the texture of the food, while the organoleptic note matches the tactile and aromatic characteristics. Combivino also has two special functions exclusive to our pairing system: the Multi-course pairing, which enables the finding of pairings suitable for multiple courses, and the Tasting option, which recommends wines according to the correct tasting order based on intensity and persistence.” The Italian start-up set up the project three years ago thanks to a team of sommeliers and technology experts made up of Alessio Papasergio, founder of the project, Federica Zevi, co-founder and pairing manager for food and wine, and Salvatore Cosenza, professor and expert craft beer taster. The aim was to complete a map of the leading global wine-producing regions and pair hundreds of grape varieties and appellations with international dishes. Since the app was first presented in Italy, Combivino has registered tens of thousands of searches every month, with peaks of consultations and downloads at lunchtime and at dinner depending on the time zones of the various nations and mainly at weekends and holiday periods. Combivino was in fact developed to be easily used when faced with a restaurant wine list or the choice of the right bottle to open at home. And these figures are destined to grow thanks to the continuous additions of pairings and content and thanks to attending international events and the kind collaboration of foreign sales offices and local promotional bodies. The challenge is even more ambitious with the international launch, as Combivino must supply pairing options useful for all kinds of users and cuisines as well as representing lesser-known production areas. Alessio Papasergio, founder of Combivino: ”The outstanding results of the project, which are growing constantly, depend on our team’s culture and passion for good food and good wine. Now the objective is to promote Combivino all over the world involving companies, the media and sector organizations. In the meantime, I can say we are working on lots of related projects. Mixology is getting more and more popular and, after wine and beer, we are thinking about adding pairings with cocktails and spirits. We have also been working for months on a prototype of Virtual Sommelier for the big retail chain, which is based on our classification and pairing system. How would the purchase experience in supermarkets improve if we could suggest the pairing of the right bottle with the products in the trolley? As happened with Combivino, it is a service that is currently not available on the market.” About Combivino Combivino is an app developed by Portale Chef S.r.l., an Italian company experienced in consultancies for the restaurant industry, and which selects food & beverage products for restaurants, e-commerce sites and purchasing groups.
