Another option would be to bring on a money partner who funds the deals while you do all of the legwork.If you find another job, you should be able to do HMLs to fund the deal, and then refinance into a new loan to return the HML's money. 

If you deal is this strong, you should have no issues negotiating these items or getting the third party reports and going to another lender.

If they are not then the other partner or spouse could make it difficult for you later.

Another optIon would be a partner so you wouldn‘t need much of your own money.

I am a TX resident  and my partner is a CA resident.

I picked the wrong partner to attempt to journey through life with.

Brought my brother in law on as a small partner so I wouldn't have so much capital tied up in the deal.

However, one thing I have had a hard time finding information about is: How does one value the business when one partner eventually wants to leave the partnership?

My partner and i are holding title in an LLC.

. - The lease strongly suggests renters insurance, but does not require it (lesson learned!)
