I have tried to do a HELOC but I’ve recently retired from the military and haven’t started another W2 therefore lenders don’t want to approve the HELOC.

After a couple of years of treading the path to frugality to build this financial runway, I've networked with the greatest people who made this all happen, of course, it took the strength, determination, time, etc to place myself where I am today but, without the mentorship of my two great mentors whom I wish used BiggerPockets so I can mention, I don't believe I would have made it thus far relying on some whimsical dream that this will all pan out accordingly, thank you for everything Greg and Lashawn.In addition, I would like to thank Bigger Pockets for connecting me with the greatest realtor @Stephen Schmitt Who took my dreams and aspirations to the core when we first connected and spoke about my future goals to replace my W2 job for financial freedom. within three months of me deciding to pull the trigger and get pre-approved, we found this killer cash-cow that apprised over purchase price!!! 

That does not mean it is approved, but it is a positive.  

I can wait a year or more, so long as it gets approved and I'll eventually see that money in the future.

Can't do any of the things they promise in the pre approval.

Hey Folks-Just got a permit approved for an SB9 two-unit development (duplex) AND an ADU on a property in Los Angeles.

I’m  Hey Adam, Have you gotten Pre-Approved already?

Sometimes when placing an offer --  the POS is not yet available - and when you place an offer you can make your offer contingent upon approval of these items... although in order to have a competitive offer in this seller's market you are basically forced to "assume" the pos violations once they become available (usually 2-3 weeks after it's been ordered) -- you should be able to tell if anything more serious might come up on the POS via your own personal inspection.
