Self-Employed Rejected on Cash-Out Refi to finance rehab

[Wes L.]

I'm looking for other financing options to tap home equity.  We were rejected on a conventional cash out note (with our current lender we've had for 10 yrs) for not having enough net income, due to our being self-employed.  We are trying to finance 2 rehab projects (we own out right) and have more than enough equity in our primary residence but cannot tap it.  Any advice would be appreciated.
