It helps to define a measurable success or a miss.

@Brandon Cline Can you define "historic"...is it registered?

To be clear, I'm defining a private lender as one who's given a preferred return in exchange for their capital but no equity stake in the asset, rather than an equity partner.Please help, and thanks in advance!

You think you must be missing something, send those tax forms to 4 different lenders and 4 different underwriters come back with the exact same Fannie/Freddie-defined number you came up with.

Define urgent issue for calls and those are the only ones that will get immediate attention.

I think it will be important to define your strategy. 

The average nightly is pretty broad from 90 to over 300 a night.

You already defined your use, but budget and use frequency come into play.   

Interesting way for the VA to apply broad guidance... 

I know this is a pretty broad question.
