If you are looking to build connections specifically in the DFW metroplex I have been hosting a monthly meetup for the past 3 or so years, id love to connect and get you some more info! 

@Stefano, there are a host of lenders that can lend to foreign nationals.

Then buy out my partners on my Costa Rica properties, and just host retreats in Costa Rica, visit my cabins, collect cash flow, and enjoy my wife and kids and travel around visiting friends in my awesome motorhome which I have not purchased yet. great goals.. mine is to buy a nice drift boat and flyfish all over the west and up into BC. trying to figure out do I buy a summer cabin say in Western Montana or Eastern Idado as a home base..

I have my doubts about how much hosts are actually making.

If your current lender can’t accommodate you, explore STR-focused lenders like Host Financial or Lima One Capital, or consider bridge loans to buy time while you build your rental history.

You can also listen in on Rob Abasolo's Youtube channel (Rob is one of the recent Bigger Pockets host) and you will learn a lot from him.If this group offers an opportunity to invest with them or their properties, then it may be worth the price. 

It would make a great area for hosting, and I think it would add a significant value to the Airbnb clients.

If you're looking to network with multifamily investors and service providers I host multiple events a month.

Hey all, interesting opportunity came up for me as a co-host.

Many times, hosts think the company or broker provided a STR policy just to find out when a claim is made there was a little sentence in the fine print that stated any STR activities canceled the policy out.
