I have $25K cash for a down payment and can add $20K/year ($1,600/month) toward payments.No W2s, I've looked into building a small home right away and using a bank statements loan (have about 8800. monthly income) , but with 9%+ interest rates, it’s beyond my budget.Is there any sort of creative financing ideas possible or private lender possibilities?

I think its because there are a lot of people pushing seller financing right now and private lending because most cannot make the numbers work on a property - so the gurus need something to be able to sell so its this is the flavor of the month.
