The main reason I find is that the older lien holders won't have the cash to complete the process because of the additional funds required. 

We recently attended Than Merrills’, Fortune Builder’s seminar on RE investing and although we did gain some additional knowledge it seemed to be a 3 day sell to attend the $20k mastery program.

Is it possible for me to still get one of these loans without the 2 years of employment history?

We had a CTC 2 months ago and the lender said my wife’s final employment verification didn’t go through at the last minute.

5-8 years ago, you could pick up these lots because developers went out of business before completing the subdivision, but these days, if a developer isn't developing a particular lot, there's probably additional reasons (didn't perc, slope/shape is bad, utilities are tricky, etc).

Do you now have a W-2 employment or private people who have made a commitment to you?  

Another note for you on conventional financing for condos is that anything over 15 year fixed and 75% LTV will pick up an additional condo "hit" to the rate meaning your interest rate will likely be 1/8 to 1/4 higher in addition to the typical uptick you would see from an investor loan.My guess is that your broker either doesn't want to deal with verifying warrantability of condos or does not have experience with non-warrantable loan programs.

@Andrew Orr, My wife and I painted the paneling in an addition of a home we sold in Michigan.  

I am considering employing the BRRRR strategy and am a bit concerned about DTI when it comes time to refi.

The more I look into it, I'm not sure which version of QuickBooks would be best, online vs desktop, Self Employed vs Simple Start, etc.
