BiggerPockets has a "Community Events & Local Meet Ups" section on here that is very helpful! 

There was recently a water intrusion event caused by a clogged drain outside which caused some hydrostatic pressure in the soil and some water came up through the slab, which the tenants promptly cleaned up and I ran a dehumidifier I rented from home depot for 24 hours.

Also, from a marketing and revenue management position, hotels are better than many STR hosts at maximizing top line gross revenue with events and other specialized clientele. 

Check out the Events to find local and virtual meet ups4. complete your BP profile - Include website links, social media handles, or other online profiles so that people can find you.

Connect with fellow investors, mentors, and experts through local meetups, events, and online communities.

Get out to networking events (especially if it's hard). 

After couple years of wholesaling deals to developers and investors, I thought I was in a good place as it relates to knowing what to do in the event I decided to take down a deal myself.

The plan was to do as much in-person networking as possible (via regional RE networking events).

I occasionally enjoy co-hosting (splitting costs) for client events with a lending partner but that is pretty rare as most lenders just want to hold "first time home buyer" classes/events or co-brand online ads for home buyers.  

A lot of the time it depends on the actual credit score, the age of your credit, or the inquiries/events shown on your credit report.
