One, you might want to consider Seller Financing (in Michigan, we call it a Land Contract) which can allow you to buy property while using the Seller as Banker; not all Sellers are open to this, but it can be beneficial to both the Buyer and Seller.

As a former banker, you may be able to do a cash out refi on your existing properties to fund part or all of the purchase.

Make sure you talk to a Banker or Loan officer that is well versed in both SE (Self Employed) income and also Non/QM programs.One tip I will give you as a Banker is open up a "Business Checking account" and for the next 12 months pay "Everything" out of that account. 

Do we have trusted advisors, brokers or community bankers within this platform who would like to work on this?

Don’t ever tell your banker you plan to live there.

Your particular lender is likely a mortgage banker with few options to farm it out to.

Brokers have their place in the industry as do retail banks/mortgage bankers.

I'd talk to a banker anyway to see what they might be willing to work out with you. 

Your banker isn't going to collateralize the land at Subdivision value, but at say farm value. 

As well as seasoned Banker/Loan officer that can run the proposed numbers to see where you need to be LTV/ARV and number wise.
