They’re a fantastic way to connect with local investors who can share their experiences and recommend trusted professionals they work with.You’ll likely meet key members of your team at these events, including insurance agents, title companies, lenders, realtors, and even wholesalers.

However, you could look into a “construction exchange” where the funds are used to improve a new property acquired through the exchange, but it must meet specific IRS rules within the time frame. 

There are a ton that solely focus on those specific markets. ( they do meet-ups, etc. )WOW, AI?

You could also call the city's code enforcement department and ask them their regulations on short term rentals. 

I'd highly recommend attending some local reia meetings.

Certainly partnering with companies that have consistent replacement properties available makes sense if the properties meet your investment guidelines.  

In my market, right now, most anything you bought at 70% of value still wouldn't meet that rule.

Hey Zoe good to meet you. 

Make sure you connect with the NHREIA, great group, they have monthly meetings in Manchester and a busy FB group with 3500+ members.

You can meet your appraiser when he goes, maybe help clear things up.
