What was offered to me personally was a DSCR loan, since it's based on rental income of the property you're trying to get a loan on, not previous and current personal income. 

I have nothing to offer on the discussion.

I grabbed the contract and offered 100k less, and got it, Talk about timing.

I recalled from an earlier post you asked whether having a real estate sales license would offer credibility for syndications.

BP also offers a variety of excellent tools to enhance your knowledge. 

I would take a look at AirBNB and VRBO to get an idea of amenities that others are offering.

So, always make sure you are talking to a lender who has a NMLS number (you do not need to be licensed to offer DSCR loans in a  lot of states but you do need a license to offer conventional loans)  and can offer BOTH a full doc loan and has multiple DSCR options.

Looking for guidance on who to roll it into and who offers great terms and support.   

This will provide you valuable insights into what the market offers.

And the law is not really clear, either.A common interpretation is that you did not make an attempt to "begin a specific business" unless you made an offer for a particular property and failed to acquire it.
