How often do catastrophes happen?

This policy would be in addition to the insurance carried on each piece of real estate and would blanket you as a whole should other insurance thresholds not suffice if something catastrophic happens. 

If just 1/4 of the current airbnb's are thrown on the market it could be catastrophic.

I fell confident that, short of something catastrophic, rents will rise for the next 5 years. 

I believe it tends to give me a slightly lower return, because the sponsor is going to be more careful, and if there is a severe downturn will prevent me from taking catastrophic losses.

Tell the seller's story: Meaning that the sellers need this deal to save themselves from a financial catastrophe and if this deal does not go through you hate to think what will happen.

I believe it tends to give me a slightly lower return, because the sponsor is going to be more careful, and if there is a severe downturn will prevent me from taking catastrophic losses.

That would signal a catastrophic situation.

That was simply catastrophic and caused by all the deregulation.

But I think I would weigh the risk/benefit ratio against the more frivolous scenarios and take the catastrophic scenarios out of the equation, or at least give them very little weight.
