need help with mortgage ideas - self employed

[Matt Goldstein]

I am self employed and moving to a new state and the banks are telling me that they will need a ton of paperwork or that they just can not even lend to me being self employed. Even though my business does not require me to stay in one place and I have been in business for 18 years.

Are there other options with reasonable rates - like 4-5% or less?
