You need a team of:General contractor, property inspector, trustworthy lender (they will have appraisers, and title company), property manager (make sure is large enough that if the person that manages it gets sick someone else will cover), insurance agent, and a real estate attorney in case you need a consultation, and most importantly an accountant with a lot of real estate  experience (this will be a major ally as you grow your business)Line up your team even before you look for the property.Go to networking events.

I suspect with commercial loans it goes farther than alienation is an event of default but there I would suspect is specific language as you allude to. or maybe they are all the same alienate the title and you cannot stop a foreclosure unless you pay it off and its at the lenders sole discretion But I dont think tehre is a clause that says you MUST inform the lender.I think it’s covered by the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and have always counseled my clients that way. 

In the event that Borrower is in default then the interest rate will increase to fifteen (15%) percent per annum from the date of the default to the date that the default is cured or the loan is paid off in full, and Borrower will be assessed an additional loan fee of 2% of the principal amount.

Are there specific networking events, online platforms, or strategies that have proven effective for building relationships with investors?

You wouldn’t double reserves but you might add an additional 30% per property because the more you have the more likely 2 big events happen at the same time.

I'd recommend attending CTREIA events.  

I think two trends converge simultaneously here, first is the interest rate hike (due to covid) and open AI announcement in 2022 ; both events are just accelerating the inevitable. 

If when you bought you got specific confirmation from someone on the board that it was okay - I've seen people win cases in that event.  

A great way to get connected is through networking events.
