Started a Business, QUIT MY JOB! .... Now How To Get Funding?

Hi!

You may have seen my posts from about a year ago stating I was going to get into wholesaling. I have gone another route and started a non-real-estate related business that has been doing well and growing. Thankfully it allowed me to quit my job (hallelujah) mid way through the year. 

Where I am at now is I am currently renting, and would like to purchase and do a live in investment with an fha loan on a 4 plex. I want to do this by early next year.

Issue I've had is that my business was incorporated in 05-2015, and I've talked to bank and loan officers which have all said they would need the business to be established for a minimum of 2 years. I do not want to wait another year and half before my first purchase. 

What are my options to make this happen?

Thanks ahead of time!

Hard money is probably not an option for a residence.  Most HMLs require that you do not occupy the property.  A loan for a property you're going to occupy is subject to a lot of rules and regulation.   HMLs usually don't do that sort of loan.
