I would like to find a lender who can approve me based on the property and what it will bring in monthly as a rental rather than on my personal finance and credit.

With Amex Business credit cards, you can get 0% interest for up to a year, 2% cash back, and a welcome offer plus high credit limits without affecting your personal credit utilization.

And we've done it with the stock market almost fully recovered back near ATH's, the housing market staying strong despite huge changes to interest rates, etc.Maybe it's all a mirage and one last hurrah to hold on before the big crash everyone has been anticipating finally does come, and I've been a bit of a doom and gloomer myself, but I think if you'd asked a year ago if it were possible to get back to 3% inflation in a year with the stock market within 5% of all-time highs and housing prices still within 5% of the peak every single person would have said it was impossible. 

I need help with the lender documentation for doing personal mortgage finace as a private lender.
