Jonathan Warner How do you estimate DSCR with smoothed CapEx/repairs assumptions?
11 February 2026 | 7 replies
This makes it difficult to know which specific year will be the one evaluated against a 1.25 DSCR requirement.To account for this, I’ve been treating a smoothed 1.15 DSCR as effectively equivalent to a 1.25 DSCR in years without major CapEx events, since the actual cash flow in those years would be materially higher.Is this a reasonable way to think about DSCR risk and lender underwriting, or is this logic off-base?

Amanda L. AZ STR Municipal Misdemeanor case – Advice + Lawyer Recommendations?
10 February 2026 | 0 replies
I am now fully compliant and trying to determine the most efficient way to resolve this pre-trial.I’ve spoken with a few attorneys and received quotes ranging from $3k to $6k, and I’m trying to evaluate:- Whether retaining counsel specifically for the pre-trial conference is worth it at this stage, and- Whether anyone has recommendations for attorneys experienced with municipal / STR / code enforcement cases in Williams, Flagstaff, or northern Arizona.If you’ve been through something similar, I’d appreciate hearing:- How your case resolved once compliance was achieved- Whether having an attorney at pre-trial made a meaningful difference- Any lawyer recommendations (or lessons learned)Thanks in advance — appreciate the collective wisdom here.
