having trouble getting a home equity loan due to my work situation. 

Moving away from direct property ownership to becoming a limited partner (LP) in larger syndication deals can drastically reduce your liability and improve scalability.

I'm putting my cash flow into the stock market, and saving for reserves to improve my properties slowly simultaneously.

@Roger West You should have no problem getting a construction-to-perm loan. 

Hi folks any suggestion of where to invest in Frederick, MD (county) so that it pencils out for a DSCR loan with 20% down.

The origination is what they are charging to do the loan 

There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents or loan officers in your area.

You are able to get fix and flip loans no income no doc 

My wife and I own a "second home" in Reno Nevada which we purchased with 10% down and were planning to purchase another one, but our lender told us that we can't get another loan for a second home within ~100 mile radius of an area where we already own a second home/primary residence.

Another said if my builder co-signed on the loan it wouldn’t be a problem.
