What strategies have my fellow BPers employ to get realtors engaged?

I think seller finance is for those who cant get a conventional loan (self employed maybe) or on properties what wouldn't qualify (bad roof maybe).

My goal is to employ the BRRRR strategy and own 40 rental properties by 40 years old (thats 7 years).I'd welcome an opportunity to buy any of you lunch, even if you're a fellow rookie.

Some lenders will work with you if you have 2 years of self-employed tax returns - though I don't know whether that will work with FHA.Best bet is to call a mortgage broker to see whether they have a way to help. 

I verified income and employment. 

There is usually only a few large employers or a school or something that is driving everything... 

One option, if your daughter is an adult and employed full-time, is for her to co-borrow on the loan, and live in one of the units for just a year to qualify for 5% down on a 4-unit.  

I put together a detailed proposal which covered the why I wanted to do this, my 1, 2, 5, and 10 year plan, the "Rehab Cycle", the due diligence process that I would follow, and most importantly to the investor how their investment is backed by a real asset, that they would be 1st deed of trust, and the 3 exit strategies that I would employ to ensure the repayment of their investment. 

I am currently employed in the financial services sector (no certifications).

Just make sure you understand the employment driver and it’s not just a one or two pony show in town.
