Here’s a response from the lending side, @Derek Morrison.Do you have a 401k plan that is sponsored by your employer or a self-directed 401k plan for which you are the trustee?

Construction workers and other large employers in need of employee housing, too.

I think there are self employment taxes.

He ended up  took the owner of the home, his construction company, my 12 yr old sister and my father along with my dad's self employed business to court .

Mail with other peoples' names coming to the property, employer and residence addresses not matching on her application documents.

Most agents are self employed and EVERY agent has other obligations in life whether that be a w2 job, children, etc.

I truly believe there are many many ways to raise the capital needed to do this work, but the business lines of credit seem to be a very viable strategy that you could also employ.

My main issue is employment history.

Conduct thorough market research to comprehend the potential real estate markets, considering aspects like employment growth, population trends, rental demand, property values, neighborhoods, schools, and local laws.

It's far harder to qualify for conventional loans if you're a business owner or self-employed and that equals opportunity.When I look at doing a potential owner finance deal the most important thing for me is skin in the game.
