I would outline your scenario to a few local mortgage brokers - with everything you've said this seems like a pretty easy deal. 

Easy to transition this to a property manager, or even have multiple people run the account, than if the account is a personal account.

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

Additionally, I expect applicants to follow instructions in the advertisement and application, to make and keep appointments, to show up on time for appointments, dress and behave appropriately at appointments, and in general demonstrate throughout the process that they are someone that is easy and pleasant to do business with.

Hi Mary - your post is so succinct which makes for easy reading. ;-)Some things come to mind-do you host yourself, have a property manager or co-host, is your STVR dog friendly, do you have king beds, where is your market, do you have professional photos etc.

Not easy, we are trying to raise a BILLION, yes a billion, to build, " Miami Beach " in Tormina.

They are easy to put together.  

Example, buying a vacant lot from a neighbor and simply explaining that someone else will be on the contract in a few days is not easy.

Not easy to do with bank financing.
