Again, trying to set aside personal opinions/beliefs nobody with even a semi-objective bone in the body would deny the benefits medicinally but more importantly there inst a state in our union that wouldn't welcome $200,000,000.00 a year in additional tax revenue (see Colorado 2016); total tax revenue from marijuana is expected to top $1B by 2020 in CO.

While I'm sure some regional banks, credit unions, etc. will slightly differ in their weights I would imagine they all care about credit scores, net worth, DSCR, etc.  

Take out a 100% Home Equity Loan (not line of credit) from my credit union on my personal home and put some cash with the equity loan for a cash purchase.

As for work in the area,  many people could commute to ATL for work, but I'd look at what industries are more specifically there, Palmetto, Union City, etc.As for the numbers, it depends on who you ask.

Find other banks or credit unions.

Try Credit Unions, local and national banks.  

@Frantz Joseph Local credit unions will give you the best rates on these

I have, however, done some casual searching online for local credit unions, and have found at least a small handful that will lend higher than 85% LTV (with less favorable terms, obviously).

The credit union that I have spoken to said that they would be willing to fund the purchase of the land and the building costs.

We've found good luck in buying existing underperforming properties in tertiary markets with an economic driver, like a university, hospital or military base.
