-2-

May I vote in person at the Annual Meeting rather than by authorizing a proxy?

We encourage you to vote by proxy, however, if you are a stockholder of record as of the Record Date you are certainly welcome to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person.  If you hold your shares in "street name," you must follow your broker, banker or other nominee's instructions to obtain a legal proxy or other evidence from your broker, bank or other nominee giving you the right to vote the shares.

How are votes counted?

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative votes, negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any.

Who pays for this proxy solicitation?

The Company will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of the Notice, the Proxy Statement, the proxy card and any additional solicitation materials furnished to the stockholders.  The Company will use the services of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), in connection with this proxy solicitation. The estimated fees paid by the Company will be approximately $10,000.

Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to brokers, banks, or other nominees holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward this solicitation material to such beneficial owners.  In addition, the Company may reimburse such persons for their costs in forwarding the solicitation materials to such beneficial owners.  The original solicitation of proxies by Internet may be supplemented by a solicitation by telephone, mail or other means by directors, officers or employees of the Company or of the Advisor. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals or to Advisor for any such services.  Except as described above, the Company does not presently intend to solicit proxies other than by Internet and through the use of direct solicitation by mail and/or telephone.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board recommends that you vote as follows:

·
"FOR" each of the six director nominees set forth in Proposal No. 1.

Any properly authorized proxy as to which no instructions are given will be voted in accordance with the foregoing recommendations.

What is quorum for the Meeting?

Holders of at least 50% of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote must be present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting for a quorum to exist. If the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting do not constitute a quorum, the meeting may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting to a date not more than 120 days after the Record Date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. Shares that are voted "FOR," "AGAINST," or"ABSTAIN" will be treated as being present at the meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum. Accordingly, if you are a stockholder of record as of the Record Date and have returned a valid proxy or attend the meeting in person, your shares will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you wish to abstain from voting on some or all matters at the meeting. "Broker non-votes" will also be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a bank, broker or other person holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.
What vote is required to approve an item of business at the meeting? 

To be elected as a director (Proposal No. 1), a nominee must receive the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxyFor purposes of the election of directors, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against the election of directors, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

In July 2012, Mr. Shustek became a principal of MVP AS.  During January 2013, Mr. Shustek became the sole owner of MVP AS. In February 2004, Mr. Shustek became the President of Vestin Group. In 2003, Mr. Shustek became the Chief Executive Officer of Vestin Originations, Inc.  In 1995, Mr. Shustek founded Del Mar Mortgage, and has been involved in various aspects of the real estate industry in Nevada since 1990.  In 1993, he founded Foreclosures of Nevada, Inc., a company specializing in non-judicial foreclosures. In 1997, Mr. Shustek was involved in the initial founding of Nevada First Bank, with the largest initial capital base of any new state charter in Nevada's history.  In 1993, Mr. Shustek also started Shustek Investments, a company that originally specialized in property valuations for third-party lenders or investors.

Mr. Shustek has co-authored two books, entitled "Trust Deed Investments," on the topic of private mortgage lending, and "If I Can Do It, So Can You."  Mr. Shustek is a guest lecturer at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he also has taught a course in Real Estate Law and Ethics.  Mr. Shustek received a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.  As our founder and CEO, Mr. Shustek is highly knowledgeable with regard to our business operations and loan portfolio.  In addition, his participation on our board of directors is essential to ensure efficient communication between the Board and management.

On February 27, 2001, the Division of Securities of the Ohio Department of Commerce (the "Division") issued a temporary suspension order against Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc. (previously known as DM Mortgage Investors, LLC) and Michael Shustek temporarily suspending the offer and sale of its securities in Ohio involving matters related to Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc. (the "Ohio Administrative Action"). The Ohio Administrative Action required Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc. to correct certain statements made by Mr. Shustek in seminars conducted by Mr. Shustek in Ohio in February 2001 and explain that certain newspaper advertisements in Ohio placed by Vestin Mortgage were not intended to reflect the potential performance of Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc.  As a result of Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc. agreeing to take these and other certain actions, including making a rescission offer, on March 9, 2001, the Division issued an order revoking the temporary suspension order.
-6-

In 2006, the SEC conducted an investigation of certain matters related to Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc., Vestin Mortgage, LLC, Vestin Capital, Inc., Vestin Realty Mortgage II, Inc., and Vestin Fund III, LLC ("Fund III"). On September 27, 2006, the investigation was resolved through the entry of an Administrative Order by the SEC (the "Order"). Vestin Mortgage and its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Shustek, and Vestin Capital (collectively, the "Respondents"), consented to the entry of the Order without admitting or denying the findings therein.

In the Order, the SEC found that the Respondents violated Section 17(a)(2) and (a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, through the use of certain slide presentations in connection with the sale of units in Fund III and in VRM II's predecessor, Vestin Fund II, LLC ("Fund II"). The Respondents consented to the entry of a cease and desist order, the payment by Mr. Shustek of a fine of $100,000 and the implementation of undertakings with respect to future sales of securities. In addition, Mr. Shustek agreed to a suspension from association with any broker or dealer for a period of six months, which expired in March 2007. Mr. Shustek has since become licensed as an associated person and principal of MVP AS. In light of the SEC Order, certain states required heightened supervisory arrangements for Mr. Shustek as a condition of such licensing.

Mr. Shustek continues to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and director of Vestin Group, Inc., and as Chief Executive Officer and director of Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc. and Vestin Realty Mortgage II, Inc. Accordingly, it is expected that Mr. Shustek will have less than 57% percent of his time available to commit to us while serving as a director and our Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Shustek was selected to serve as a director because he is our Chief Executive Officer, has significant real estate experience and expansive knowledge of the real estate industry, and has relationships with chief executives and other senior management at numerous real estate companies. Based on the foregoing, the nominating committee of the Board believes that Mr. Shustek will continue to bring a unique and valuable perspective to our board of directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

We operate under the direction of our Board. The board of directors is responsible for overseeing the management of our business and affairs. The Board has retained our advisor to manage our day-to-day affairs and to implement our investment strategy, subject to the Board's direction, oversight and approval.

We have a total of six directors, five of whom are independent of our advisor, our sponsor and our respective affiliates.  Our independent directors also meet the requirements for independence as determined in accordance with the NASAA REIT Guidelines. The NASAA REIT Guidelines require our charter to define an independent director as a director who is not and has not for the last two years been associated, directly or indirectly, with our sponsor or our advisor. A director is deemed to be associated with our sponsor or our advisor if he or she owns any interest in, is employed by, is an officer or director of, or has any material business or professional relationship with our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates, performs services (other than as a director) for us, or serves as a director or trustee for more than three REITs sponsored by our sponsor or advised by our advisor.

A business or professional relationship will be deemed material per se if the gross revenue derived by the director from our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates exceeds five percent of (1) the director's annual gross revenue derived from all sources during either of the last two years or (2) the director's net worth on a fair market value basis. An indirect relationship is defined to include circumstances in which the director's spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers- or fathers-in-law, sons- or daughters-in-law or brothers- or sisters-in-law is or has been associated with us, our sponsor, our advisor or any of its affiliates. Our board has determined that each of Robert J. Aalberts, Nicholas Nilsen, John E. Dawson, Shawn Nelson and Daryl C. Idler, Jr. qualifies as an independent director under the NASAA REIT Guidelines.

We refer to our directors who are not independent as our "affiliated directors." Currently, our affiliated director is Michael V. Shustek.  At the first meeting of our board of directors consisting of a majority of independent directors, our charter was reviewed and ratified by a vote of the directors, including at least a majority of the independent directors.

In accordance with the NASAA REIT Guidelines, our current charter provides that a majority of the directors must be independent directors and that at least one of the independent directors must have at least three years of relevant real estate experience. The independent directors will nominate replacements for vacancies among the independent directors.

Our charter and bylaws also provide for a lead independent director, who must be an individual who is not, and has not been during the past five years, an officer, director, employee or business associate of our advisor or any of its affiliates. Our board has designated Nicolas Nilsen as our lead independent director. 
-9-

Our board of directors is elected by our common stockholders on an annual basis. Any director may resign at any time and may be removed with or without cause by the stockholders upon the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors. The notice of any special meeting called to remove a director will indicate that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to determine if the director will be removed.

We have elected to provide that any and all vacancies may be filled only by a vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and, in the case of an independent director, the director must also be nominated by the remaining independent directors.

Responsibilities of Directors

The responsibilities of the members of the board of directors include, among other things:

Our board of directors may establish further written policies on investments and borrowings and shall monitor our administrative procedures, investment operations and performance to ensure that the policies are fulfilled and are in our best interests. Any change in our investment objectives as set forth in our charter must be approved by the stockholders.

The NASAA REIT Guidelines, to the extent they remain applicable, also requires that our independent directors be responsible for reviewing from time to time but at least annually (1) the performance of our advisor and determining that the compensation to be paid to our advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed; (2) that our total fees and expenses are otherwise reasonable in light of our investment performance, our net assets, our net income, the fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated REITs and other factors deemed relevant by our independent directors; and (3) that the provisions of the advisory agreement are being carried out

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own beneficially more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC.  Such executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms and amendments that they file.  Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us, and written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for such persons, we believe that our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities timely filed all reports required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act for our fiscal year 2015.

We do not currently have any employees nor do we currently intend to hire any employees who will be compensated directly by us.

Each of these individuals receives compensation from our sponsor for his services, including services performed for us and for our advisor. As executive officers of our advisor, these individuals will manage our day-to-day affairs and carry out the directives of our board of directors in the review and selection of investment opportunities and will oversee and monitor our acquired investments to ensure they are consistent with our investment objectives.

The duties that these executive officers will perform on our behalf will also serve to fulfill the corporate governance obligations of these persons as our appointed officers pursuant to our charter and bylaws. As such, these duties will involve the performance of corporate governance activities that require the attention of one of our corporate officers, including signing certifications required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, for filing with our periodic reports. Although we will reimburse the advisor for certain expenses incurred in connection with providing these services to us, we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to our executive officers.

NO INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE OR DEEMED FILING

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous or future filings made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that might incorporate this Proxy Statement or future filings made by us under those statutes, the Audit Committee Report and the Audit Committee Charter referred to in this Proxy Statement are not deemed to be filed with the SEC and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of those prior filings or any future filings made by us under those statutes.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Conflicts of Interests

We are subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our advisor and other affiliates, including (1) conflicts related to the compensation arrangements between our advisor, certain affiliates and us, (2) conflicts with respect to the allocation of the time of our advisor and its key personnel and (3) conflicts with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities. Our independent directors have an obligation to function on our behalf in all situations in which a conflict of interest may arise and will have a fiduciary obligation to act on behalf of the stockholders.

The transactions described below were approved by a majority of the Company's board of directors (including a majority of the independent directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction as fair and reasonable to the Company and on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Company than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

Commissions Paid

During the year ended December 30, 2015, JNL Parking, a brokerage and consulting company specializing in the parking industry and co-founded by the Company's Chief Investment Officer and Chief Technology Officer, earned fees of approximately $0.6 million, for 1% commission on purchases.

Ownership of Company Stock and Convertible Stock

As of December 31, 2015, the Sponsor owned 22,222 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc., or VRM I, owned 71,112 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, Vestin Fund III owned 34,297 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, JNL Parking owned 40,857 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock and the Advisor owned 1,000 shares of the Convertible Stock  For a discussion of the terms of the Convertible Stock, please see Proposal No. 2C above.

Ownership of Interests of Advisor

During April 2012, Vestin Realty Mortgage II, Inc., or VRM II, contributed $1,000 for a 40% interest in the Advisor. Mr. Shustek, through a wholly owned company named MVP Capital Partners, LLC (the "Sponsor") contributed $1,500 for a 60% interest in the Advisor.  As of June 30, 2013, VRM II and the Sponsor had loaned approximately $3.6 million and approximately $1.2 million, respectively, to the Advisor for purposes of funding the Company's operations.  On June 30, 2013, the Sponsor decided to forgive the full amount of its $1.2 million loan. VRM II has not forgiven the balance due from the Advisor.  However the decision by the Sponsor to forgive the full amount of its loans created uncertainty as to when VRM II will be repaid the amounts loaned to the Advisor. Based on this uncertainty, VRM II determined to treat as fully impaired the balance of this note receivable.

In December 2013, VRM II and the Sponsor entered into a membership interest transfer agreement, dated as of December 19, 2013, pursuant to which VRM II has acquired from the Seller an additional 20% of the membership interests of the Advisor. Concurrently therewith, the Sponsor and VRM I entered into a separate membership interest transfer agreement pursuant to which VRM I acquired the remaining 40% interest in the Advisor from the Sponsor.  As a result, VRM II and VRM I now own 60% and 40%, respectively, of the aggregate membership interests of the Advisor.  As of December 31, 2015, VRM I and VRM II had notes receivable from the Advisor of approximately $4.2 million and $12.9 million, respectively, which amount has been fully impaired. The Advisor's ability to repay the sums due VRM I and VRM II will likely depend upon the success of the Company's ability to successfully deploy the offering proceeds.

Pursuant to the transfer agreements entered into in December 2013, neither VRM I nor VRM II paid any up-front consideration for the acquired interests, but each will be responsible for its proportionate share of future expenses of the Advisor.
-16-

In recognition of the Sponsor's substantial investment in the Advisor for which the Sponsor received no up-front consideration, the transfer agreements and the amended operating agreement of the Advisor further provide that once VRM I and VRM II have been repaid in full for any capital contributions to the Advisor or for any expenses advanced on the Advisor's behalf ("Capital Investment"), and once they have received an annualized return on their Capital Investment of 7.5%, then the Sponsor will receive one-third of the net profits of the Advisor.

Fees and Expenses Paid in Connection with the Offering

Broker Dealers received 3.00% of the gross offering proceeds sold in our initial public offering, subject to reductions based on volume and for certain categories of purchasers. No selling commissions are payable on shares sold under the distribution reinvestment plan.  Additionally, the Sponsor or its affiliates (other than MVP REIT, Inc.) pay up to an additional 5.25% of the gross offering proceeds for third party broker dealer commissions and due diligence expenses.  Since our initial public offering terminated in September 2015, we do not anticipate incurring any additional offering expenses.

On July 16, 2012, the Company signed a selling agreement which appointed MVP American Securities ("MVP AS"), formerly known as Ashton Garnett Securities, LLC, an entity indirectly owned by our CEO, to act as one of the selling agents for the Offering.  For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company paid no selling commissions to MVP AS.

Certain organizational, offering and related costs will be incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company. After the Company has reimbursed $100,000 of such costs, which amount has been paid to the Advisor, no additional reimbursements will be made unless the aggregate amount of such reimbursements does not exceed 0.75% of the gross offering proceeds as of the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursable costs may include legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including marketing, salaries and direct expenses of the Advisor's employees and employees of the Advisor's affiliates and others. Such reimbursable costs do not include any broker-dealer commissions paid by the Advisor in excess of the 3.00% paid by the Company, including any sponsor commissions or sponsor due diligence fees.  Any reimbursement of the Advisor will not exceed actual expenses incurred by the Advisor. On November 1, 2013, the advisor forgave the reimbursement of the full amount of offering costs incurred.

Fees and Expenses Paid in Connection With the Operations of the Company

The Company has no paid employees. The Company has retained the Advisor to manage its affairs on a day-to-day basis. Pursuant to an amendment of the advisory agreement effective November 21, 2013, the Company will reimburse, no less than monthly, the Advisor for audit, accounting and legal fees, and other fees for professional services provided by third parties relating to the operations of the Company and all such fees incurred at the request, or on behalf of, the Board or any committee of the Board; provided, however, that the Advisor shall not be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for any personnel or related employment costs incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates in performing the services, including but not limited to salary and benefits of employees and overhead, until the first anniversary of (i) the listing of the Company's shares on a national securities exchange or (ii) a merger, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or another liquidity event transaction approved by the Company's board.  As of December 31, 2015, the aggregate amount of expense reimbursements waived by the Advisor was approximately $6.9 million.

The Advisor must reimburse the Company at least quarterly for reimbursements paid to the Advisor in any four consecutive fiscal quarters to the extent that such reimbursements to the Advisor cause the Company's total operating expenses to exceed the greater of (1) 2% of our average invested assets, which generally consists of the average book value of the Company's real properties before deducting depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves and the average book value of securities, or (2) 25% of the Company's net income, which is defined as the Company's total revenues less total expenses for any given period excluding reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves, unless the independent directors have determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. The Advisor does not currently owe any amounts to the Company under this provision. As the Company commences the reimbursement of the expenses to the Advisor, the Company will verify that such reimbursements do not exceed the limits identified above or, in the event of any excessive payments, will obtain reimbursements from the Advisor.

The Advisor or its affiliates will receive an acquisition fee of 3.0% of the purchase price of any real estate or loan acquired at a discount, provided, however, the Company will not pay any fees when acquiring loans from its affiliates.  During the year ended December 31, 2015 MVP REIT paid approximately $1.8 million, in acquisition fees to the Advisor.  During the year ended December 31, 2014 no acquisition fees were earned.  During the year ended December 31, 2015, JNL Parking earned fees of approximately $0.6 million, for 1% commission on purchases.
-17-

The Advisor or its affiliates will be reimbursed for actual expenses paid or incurred in connection with the selection or acquisition of an investment, whether or not the Company ultimately acquires the investment. The Company may recoup all or a portion of these expenses from the borrower in connection with each investment.

The Advisor or its affiliates is entitled to receive a monthly asset management fee at an annual rate equal to 0.85% of the fair market value of (i) all assets then held by the Company or (ii) the Company's proportionate share thereof in the case of an investment made through a joint venture or other co-ownership arrangement, excluding (only for clause (ii)) debt financing obtained by the Company or made available to the Company. The fair market value of real property shall be based on annual "AS-IS", "WHERE-IS" appraisals, and the fair market value of real estate-related secured loans shall be equal to the face value of the such loan, unless it is non-performing, in which case the fair market value shall be equal to the book value of such loan. The asset management fee will be reduced to 0.75% if the Company is listed on a national securities exchange.  Asset management fees for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no asset management fee will be paid or payable with respect to any mortgage assets held by us at this time.  We will not pay any asset management fee on any of our mortgage assets unless we restructure our mortgage program in a manner consistent with the NASAA Mortgage Program Guidelines that would permit us to pay an asset management fee on our mortgage assets, including making available 84% of our capital contribution to invest in mortgages assets.  We have no present intention to revise our investment strategy in a manner that would permit such payment under the NASAA Mortgage Program Guidelines, but may elect to do so in the future. 

 If we do make such an election to restructure our mortgage program, then, subject to satisfaction of the requirements of the NASAA Mortgage Program Guidelines, we may pay our advisor or its affiliates an annual asset-based fee equal to 0.75% of the "Base Amount" (as defined in the NASAA Mortgage Program Guidelines) of the capital contributions, if any, committed to investments in mortgages and 0.5% of the capital contributions temporarily held while awaiting investments in mortgages, in addition to any other fees and compensation that is allowed under the NASAA Mortgage Program Guidelines.

The advisory agreement currently provides for payment to our advisor of a monthly market-based fee for property management services of up to 6.00% of the gross revenues generated by our properties. The Advisor has irrevocably waived its rights to receive a property management fee with respect to any real property owned that are subject to triple net leases. As a result of this waiver, no property management fee will be paid on any real property owned that are subject to triple net leases pursuant to which the tenants pay all or a majority of all real estate taxes, building insurance, and maintenance expenses.

The Advisor or its affiliates is entitled to receive a monthly debt financing fee at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the aggregate debt financing obtained by the Company or made available to the Company, such as mortgage debt, lines of credit, and other term indebtedness, including refinancings.  In the case of a joint venture, the Company pays this fee only on the Company's pro rata share.  Debt financing fees for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $66,000, and $29,000, respectively.

Disposition Fee

For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of real property, as determined by the independent directors, the Company will pay the Advisor or its affiliate the lesser of (i) 3.00% of the contract sale price of the real property sold or (ii) 50% of the customary commission which would be paid to a third-party broker for the sale of a comparable property. The amount paid, when added to the sums paid to unaffiliated parties, may not exceed either the customary commission or an amount equal to 6.00% of the contract sales price. The disposition fee will be paid concurrently with the closing of any such disposition of all or any portion of any real property. The Company will not pay a disposition fee upon the maturity, prepayment, workout, modification or extension of a loan or other debt-related investment; provided, however, that the Advisor or its affiliates may receive an exit fee or a prepayment penalty paid by the borrower. If the Company takes ownership of a property as a result of a workout or foreclosure of a loan, the Company will pay a disposition fee upon the sale of such real property equal to 3.00% of the sales price.  With respect to real property held in a joint venture, the foregoing commission will be reduced to a percentage reflecting the Company's economic interest in the joint venture.  There were no disposition fees earned by the Advisor for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
 
Fees and Expense Reimbursements Payable by Borrowers and Other Third Parties

The Company or its affiliates may be entitled to late fees, loan servicing fees, loan extension and loan modification fees and other fees and expense reimbursement payable by borrowers and other third parties.

Certain Conflict Mitigation Measures
 
In order to reduce or mitigate certain potential conflicts of interests, we have adopted the procedures set forth below.

Advisor Compensation
 
Our compensation committee will evaluate at least annually whether the compensation that we contract to pay to our advisor and its affiliates is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed and whether such compensation is within the limits prescribed by our charter. Our compensation committee supervises the performance of our advisor and its affiliates and the compensation we pay to them to determine whether the provisions of our advisory agreement are being carried out. This evaluation is based on the following factors as well as any other factors they deem relevant:
 
 
the amount of the fees and any other compensation, including stock-based compensation, paid to our
advisor and its affiliates in relation to the size, composition and performance of the assets;
 
the success of our advisor in generating appropriate investment opportunities;
 
the rates charged to other companies, including other REITs, by advisors performing similar services;
 
additional revenues realized by our advisor and its affiliates through their relationship with us, including
whether we pay them or they are paid by others with whom we do business;
 
the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by our advisor and its affiliates;
 
the performance of our investment portfolio; and
 
the quality of our portfolio relative to the investments generated by our advisor and its affiliates for their
own account and for their other clients.
 
Term of Advisory Agreement
 
Each contract for the services of our advisor may not exceed one year, although there is no limit on the number of times that we may retain a particular advisor. Our charter provides that a majority of the independent directors may terminate our advisory agreement with MVP Realty Advisors, LLC without cause or penalty on 60 days' written notice. The Advisor may terminate our advisory agreement with good reason on 60 days' written notice.  Our board approved a renewal of our advisory agreement for a one year term, effective on March 28, 2016.

Independent Directors

The NASAA REIT Guidelines require our charter to define an independent director as a director who is not and has not for the last two years been associated, directly or indirectly, with our sponsor or our advisor. A director is deemed to be associated with our sponsor or our advisor if he or she owns any interest in, is employed by, is an officer or director of, or has any material business or professional relationship with our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates, performs services (other than as a director) for us, or serves as a director or trustee for more than three REITs sponsored by our sponsor or advised by our advisor.
 
A business or professional relationship will be deemed material per se if the gross revenue derived by the director from our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates exceeds five percent of (1) the director's annual gross revenue derived from all sources during either of the last two years or (2) the director's net worth on a fair market value basis. An indirect relationship is defined to include circumstances in which the director's spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers- or fathers-in-law, sons- or daughters-in-law or brothers- or sisters-in-law is or has been associated with us, our sponsor, our advisor or any of its affiliates.
 
A majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, must determine the method used by our advisor for the allocation of the acquisition of investments by two or more affiliated programs seeking to acquire similar types of assets is fair and reasonable to us. Our independent directors, acting as a group, will resolve potential conflicts of interest whenever they determine that the exercise of independent judgment by the full board of directors or our advisor or its affiliates could reasonably be compromised. However, the independent directors may not take any action which, under Maryland law, must be taken by the entire board of directors or which is otherwise not within their authority.
 
-19-

The independent directors, as a group, are authorized to retain their own legal and financial advisors. Among the matters we expect the independent directors to review and act upon are:

  
the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with our advisor and its affiliates, including
the advisory agreement and the property management agreement;
 
transactions with affiliates, including our directors and officers;
 
awards under our equity incentive plan; and
 
pursuit of a potential liquidity event.
 
Those conflict of interest matters that cannot be delegated to the independent directors, as a group, under Maryland law must be acted upon by both the board of directors and the independent directors.

Role of the Lead Independent Director
 
Our bylaws requires that at least one of the members of our board of directors must be an individual who is not, and has not been during the past five years, an officer, director (including an independent director), employee or business associate of our advisor or any of its affiliates, and that only a director who meets this standard may serve as our lead independent director.

Under our bylaws, our lead independent director will have authority to convene and chair meetings of our independent directors to address such matters as the lead independent director deems appropriate. The lead independent director does not have any additional authority over the other independent directors, and the Company expects each independent director to participate fully and consider and vote upon all matters where they do not have a conflicting interest.
However, if we are considering a transaction with an affiliate and all of our other independent directors are conflicted, then our lead independent director will have sole authority to approve or reject the proposed transaction.
As it is not required to have a lead independent director for publicly listed companies, we anticipate that, upon the listing of our shares on NASDAQ Global Select Market or another national securities exchange, we will amend our bylaws to delete the provisions requiring a lead independent director.
 
Our Acquisitions
 
We will not purchase or lease assets in which our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates has an interest without a determination by a majority of our directors (including a majority of the independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction that such transaction is fair and reasonable to us and at a price to us no greater than the cost of the asset to our sponsor, the advisor, the director or the affiliated seller or lessor, unless there is substantial justification for the excess amount and such excess is reasonable. In no event may we acquire any such asset at an amount in excess of its current appraised value.
 
The consideration we pay for real property will ordinarily be based on the fair market value of the property as determined by a majority of the members of the board of directors or the members of a duly authorized committee of the board. In cases in which a majority of our independent directors so determine, and in all cases in which real property is acquired from our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates, the fair market value shall be determined by an independent expert selected by our independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction.

The foregoing restrictions on our acquisitions, which are imposed by the NASAA REIT Guidelines, will be eliminated upon stockholder approval of our Amended Charter and the filing of our Amended Charter with, and the acceptance for record of our Amended Charter by, the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland.

Real Estate Secured Loans Involving Affiliates
 
Our charter prohibits us from investing in or making real estate secured loans in which the transaction is with our sponsor, our advisor, our directors or any of their affiliates, unless an independent appraiser appraises the underlying property. We must keep the appraisal for at least five years and make it available for inspection and duplication by any of our common stockholders. In addition, a mortgagee's or owner's title insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of the mortgage or the condition of the title must be obtained. However, we may acquire an investment in a loan payable by our advisor or any of its affiliates, when our advisor has assumed the obligations of the borrower under that loan through a foreclosure on the property.
-20-

In addition, we may invest in loans that were originated by affiliates provided the loan(s) otherwise satisfy all of our lending criteria. Our charter also prohibits us from making or investing in any real estate secured loans that are subordinate to any real estate secured loan or equity interest of our sponsor, our advisor, our directors or any of their affiliates.
 
We may participate in loans with our affiliates, but only provided that a majority of our directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction approve such transaction as fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions no less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Typically, we participate in loans if:
 
 
We did not have sufficient funds to invest in an entire loan;
 
We are seeking to increase the diversification of our loan portfolio; or
 
A loan fits within our investment guidelines, however it would be disproportionately large given our then
existing portfolio.

We will not borrow from our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates unless a majority of our directors (including a majority of independent directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction approves the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.
 
As part of our mortgage program, in addition to the limitations in our charter with respect to our investments in mortgage loans as described above, we will not acquire a mortgage in which our sponsor or any of its affiliates has an interest except in accordance with the following requirements of the NASAA Mortgage Program Guideline V.I.A:
 
    •      Our sponsor or its affiliate may acquire a mortgage in its own name and temporarily hold title thereto for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of such mortgage, provided that such mortgage is purchased by us for a price no greater than the cost of such mortgage to the sponsor or its affiliate, except for sponsor compensation permitted in accordance with NASAA Mortgage Program Guideline and the NASAA REIT Program Guidelines, and provided there is no other benefit arising out of such transaction to the sponsor or its affiliates apart from compensation otherwise permitted by the NASAA Mortgage Program Guideline and the NASAA REIT Program Guidelines. Accordingly, all income generated and expenses associated with mortgage so acquired shall be treated as belonging to us.  Our sponsor or its affiliate shall not sell a mortgage to us if the cost of the mortgage exceeds the funds reasonably anticipated to be available to us to purchase the mortgage.
 
      •      Alternatively, we may purchase a mortgage from a mortgage program formed by the sponsor or its affiliates pursuant to the rights of first refusal required by NASAA Mortgage Program Guideline V.G.  In such a case, the purchase price for the mortgage shall be no more than the fair market value as determined by an independent appraisal.

The foregoing restrictions on loans will only apply to advances of cash that are commonly viewed as loans, as determined by our board of directors. By way of example only, the prohibition on loans would not restrict advances of cash for legal expenses or other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought nor would the prohibition limit our ability to advance reimbursable expenses incurred by directors or officers or our advisor or its affiliates.

Other Transactions Involving Affiliates
 
A majority of our directors, including a majority of the independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, must conclude that all other transactions between us and our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates are fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. To the extent that we contemplate any transactions with affiliates, members of our board who serve on the board of the affiliated entity will be deemed "interested directors" and will not participate in approving or making other substantive decisions with respect to such related party transactions.
 
Limitation on Operating Expenses
 
In compliance with the NASAA REIT Guidelines, our advisor must reimburse us the amount by which our aggregate total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income, unless the independent directors have determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors.
-21-

"Average invested assets" means the average of the aggregate monthly book value of our assets during a specified period invested, directly or indirectly in equity interests in and loans secured by real estate, before deducting depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves. "Total operating expenses" means all costs and expenses paid or incurred by us, as determined under GAAP, that are in any way related to our operation, including advisory fees, but excluding (i) the expenses of raising capital such as organization and offering expenses, legal, audit, accounting, underwriting, brokerage, listing, registration and other fees, printing and other such expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the issuance, distribution, transfer, registration and stock exchange listing of our stock; (ii) interest payments; (iii) taxes; (iv) non-cash expenditures such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves; (v) incentive fees paid in compliance with the NASAA REIT Guidelines; (vi) acquisition fees and expenses; (vii) real estate commissions on the sale of real property; and (viii) other fees and expenses connected with the acquisition, disposition, management and ownership of real estate interests, mortgage loans or other property (including the costs of foreclosure, insurance premiums, legal services, maintenance, repair and improvement of property).
 
While our charter permits us to pay our advisor an incentive fee equal to an interest in the gain from the sale of an asset for which full consideration is not paid in cash or property of equivalent value, we do not intend to pay such an incentive fee in the foreseeable future.

Our charter provides that amount or percentage of such incentive fee must be reasonable, and is considered presumptively reasonable if it does not exceed 15% of the net proceeds from the sale of the asset remaining after payment to our stockholders, in the aggregate, of an amount equal to 100% of the invested capital, plus an amount equal to six percent of the invested capital per annum cumulative. In the case of multiple advisors, such advisor and any of their affiliates shall be allowed such fees provided such fees are distributed by a proportional method reasonably designed to reflect the value added to the assets by each respective advisor or any affiliate.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that operating expenses payable or reimbursable by us exceed these limits and the independent directors determine that the excess expenses were justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, our advisor may be reimbursed in future periods for the full amount of the excess expenses or any portion thereof. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter for which our total operating expenses for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended exceed these limits, we will send our stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors our independent directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that such excess expenses were justified. In addition, our independent directors will review the total fees and expense reimbursements for operating expenses paid to our advisor to determine if they are reasonable in light of our performance, our net assets and our net income and the fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated REITs.
 
Issuance of Options and Warrants to Certain Affiliates
 
Until our shares of common stock are listed on a national securities exchange, we will not issue options or warrants to purchase our common stock to our advisor, our sponsor, our directors or any of their affiliates, except on the same terms as such options or warrants, if any, are sold to the general public. We may issue options or warrants to persons other than our advisor, our sponsor, our dirctors and their affiliates prior to listing our common stock on a national securities exchange, but not at an exercise price less than the fair market value of the underlying securities on the date of grant and not for consideration (which may include services) that in the judgment of our board of directors has a market value less than the value of such option or warrant on the date of grant.

 Any options or warrants we issue to our advisor, our sponsor, our directors or any of their affiliates shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the date of grant.

In addition, no option, warrant or any other equity award will be issued under our equity incentive plan or otherwise to our advisor, our sponsor, our directors or any of their affiliates, if the issuance of any such award would result in a violation of any applicable NASAA REIT Guidelines, including the limitations imposed under the NASAA REIT Guidelines on our total operating expenses (after giving effect to the expense associated with such equity award).

Reports to Stockholders
 We will prepare an annual report and deliver it to our common stockholders within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year. Our directors are required to take reasonable steps to ensure that the annual report complies with our charter provisions.

-22-

Among the matters that must be included in the annual report or included in a proxy statement delivered with the annual report are:
 
 
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP that are audited and reported on by independent
certified public accountants;
 
the ratio of the costs of raising capital during the year to the capital raised;
 
the aggregate amount of advisory fees and the aggregate amount of other fees paid to our advisor and
any affiliates of our advisor by us or third parties doing business with us during the year;
 
our total operating expenses for the year stated as a percentage of our average invested assets and as a
percentage of our net income;
 
a report from the independent directors that our policies are in the best interests of our stockholders and
the basis for such determination; and
 
a separately stated, full disclosure of all material terms, factors and circumstances surrounding any
and all transactions involving us and our advisor, a director or any affiliate thereof during the year, which
disclosure has been examined and commented upon in the report by the independent directors with regard
to the fairness of such transactions.

Director Independence.

The Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Aalberts, Nilsen, Nelson, Dawson, and Idler qualify as "independent directors" as that term is defined in the NASAA Guidelines. Although our shares of common stock  are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange, our independent directors also meet the current independence and qualifications requirements of the NASDAQ listing standards. In making these determinations, the Board of Directors did not rely on any exemptions to NASDAQ listing standards.
