He wants to add a co-applicant who is not going to be an occupant. 

For example:You own Property A and do a CO-refiUse proceeds to buy Property B as cash buyer and do a CO-Refi on Property B with the exception.  

I never list until a CO is issued...most of the time I get them under construction.

They want me to consider a co-signer.

I'd say find a co-signer.

Has anyone had any success acquiring a CO during this time?

That said, if you or someone you know specializes in investment properties, I'm interested.I know a contractor through a co-worker but this is a big hole for me. 

They want me to take a co-signer.It seems, I would fully screen  the two people, and the co-signerWould I ask for tax returns to prove consistent employment?

Hi Lamont,I agree with what the others have said, but I remember you saying in another post you were having trouble finding investors.So possibly, as a co-GP in the deal (like a joint venture kind of situation) it might make sense, if it allows you to attract Investor cash to the closing table, or the person is bringing investor cash onboard, but you will still need a deal Sponsor to step up to the plate as Key principal for the loan.
