Looking for networking events or meetups.

We have a DSCR lender and we are moving toward closing but they are requiring for my insurance plan to hold 80% of a replacement cost estimator for my property even though it would not cost that high amount to replace the entire house in the event that such occurs.

I’m currently structuring a two-unit short-term rental arbitrage opportunity in Seattle built around event-driven and seasonal demand cycles and would love feedback from others who’ve operated STR arbitrage or navigated major event markets.High-level structure:• Unit 1: May 2026 – January 2027• Unit 2: September 2026 – May 2027This staggered approach allows capture of late-summer tourism, fall sports, holiday travel, and spring demand, while also positioning around anticipated lodging compression related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is expected to shift travel patterns before and after the event due to pricing and inventory pressure.The strategy centers on:• Strong operational leverage during peak periods• Risk mitigation through fixed costs• Demand diversification across tourism + business + events• Seasonal + event-driven ADR optimization• Hybrid short-term + mid-term stay targeting• OTA + direct booking channel diversification• Conservative underwriting assumptionsI’m especially interested in insights from anyone who has:- Operated arbitrage in major event-driven markets- Managed staggered lease timing across multiple units- Underwritten STR performance around World Cup, Olympics, or similar eventsHappy to compare notes or walk through assumptions privately with anyone interested.Appreciate any feedback or perspectives.

Insurance company doesn't require it but  our fear is someone getting hurt or causing damage and we have no evidence of the event.

  Hello to all, Does anyone have any suggestions or current information for future real estate social events?

Local REIAs, CCIM events and industry meetups are great places to meet experienced operators who may be open to mentorship, shadowing opportunities or JV partnerships.

First, eight burst pipes isn’t a small event.

Got invited last minute to the "REBEL" event yesterday here in town. 

While I have self prepared taxes via Turbo Tax for years and studied IRS pubs to a certain degree for LTR, I decided to reach out to a CPA this year for another set of eyes and better expertise with these potential implications/events occurring in 2025.

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?
