With that being said, there are creative methods to financing.

Thanks @J Scott, I saw someone else mention that method in another discussion and I believe they mentioned getting the idea from you.

Hi @Aaron Jones,Here it is, directly from Fannie Mae (which for the record is not "the government" in the way you are thinking):Variable IncomeAll income that is calculated by an averaging method must be reviewed to assess the borrower’s history of receipt, the frequency of payment, and the trending of the amount of income being received.

Different methods of attack.

My job is extremely secure, so this risk is minimal for me.I will say that my views are based on using that money for a flip or a BRRR method, where the loan is short-term and paid back quickly.

So you can find your method that works for you.

I'm about to jump in using the same method.

There are a million ways to get deals, you just need to pick a method and devote everything you've got to it.

Always inspect prior to making any payments.Also, A higher cost lower involvement method would be a completion bond.I hope this helps

I've done much of my own remodeling and have a good understanding of construction methods, costs etc.
