Once its programmed to capacity, you will find it a vital organ in your business model. 

We are working with a lender that a friend put me in touch with and I have no idea what program or loan type he is using here. 

A few years ago I was in an offer and compromise, but I was kicked out the program due to me not getting a payment in after having my payment sent back to me for not having the correct name on the money order.The last few months I've been working with a advisor on building my credit at the same time establishing my business name to build business credit.

The lender also told me that I would not qualify for a first time home buyer program for myself if I move to Atlanta next year.

remember that every real estate plan works great on paper, real life doesn't play as nice. this program SOUNDS great but there are a lot of things that aren't going to pan out to these optimistic expectations.

Will consider asset-based loan programs.

As @Chris Mason mentioned, there are some loan programs that will allow a 12 month average based off your tax returns.

“Today’s agreement reaffirms HUD’s commitment to ensuring that housing providers meet their obligation to treat all applicants the same.”The case came to HUD’s attention when Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB), a HUD Fair Housing Initiatives Program agency, filed a complaint based on results from their fair housing tests.

That being said there are a number of programs available that your agent should be able to price.
