Next thing I know she’s inviting me to a local investor event on Wednesday and telling me for how new I am that I’m already doing really well and to just keep doing what I’m doing.

Failure is not an event.

There probably plenty of real estate networking events in your area or nearby if that's what you seek.

Plus we have Websites, CRM, Marketing, Insurance, business licenses, Fuel (huge expense in an area where a listing can be 30-45 minutes away sometimes) networking events, fundraisers, etc.

You can check the events page for more info, plus there are a few other meetups that happen regularly. https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

Anyone attend this event before and have any feedback on the value.

This is just "my" experience on one event.

Do you have reserves for your personal living expenses in the event the process takes longer and/or you aren't able to recoup as much of the invested capital as expected on the refinance?

The liquidity event helped, as have recent MicroSaaS and other projects that bring in some butter and egg money. 

You will receive a report as a result of the cost segregation study that supports the breakout between asset classes and new depreciation schedule in the event that you are audited by the IRS.
