., (b) the type that allows alternatives but doesn't give you direct control over your money, and (c) Checkbook 401k that gives you total control and flexibility to invest in real estate, private lending, etc. 

Your other option is some of the Alternative Non-QM lending programs that are out there, there are several that take the Rent Debt Coverage Ratio to determine the income or debt ratio instead of the borrowers personal income, most of these only have a 6 month ownership seasoning to use existing value, one company that has this program is Impac Mortgage, they have their credit matrix online to view at "http://impacmortgage.com/media/forms/iQM-Investor-...

I have good credit (730) but only about 10-15% down so I am looking for alternative financing but I have no idea where to start.

We just had our own personal door code and it makes us feel a lot safer with guests in the house.One of the best things we did when screening guests is we would send them a "welcome message" which reinterated rules such as-Don't park in the driveway-Take your shoes off at the door-etc.and hidden (smack dab in the middle) was the "secret code phrase" that they had to reply with to confirm they actually read the welcome message.

By helping them try to keep their house, should they find they have no alternative but to sell, then maybe your relationship is good enough to be in line to work with them. 

Throughout your week, knowing our criteria, do some alternative searches on your own and actually search out deals for us.

Probably best alternative - if you can find one. 3.
