After the acquisition of three machining certificates  and a profitable internship I find myself gainfully employed with Williams International, where my nights are filled with crafting parts for jet engines and missiles.

I am in the midst of rolling over several former employer retirement accounts. 

There are a lot of bank foreclosures in my small town after Amazon and another large employer relocated their facilities that used to be here

I am focusing on population growth, job growth / employment rate, Supply growth, vacancy rates, rent growth, and cap rates.

I have lenders willing to do a cash out refinance but I don't have W2 income anymore or enough self employment history.

It's a corner lot, great curb appeal, near a hospital and an engineering employment base. 

There are asset-based products out there designed for "self-employed" investors with high DTI, the desire to vest in a LLC, 10 + mortgages, unique scenarios, etc etc.

That would be self-dealing, which is strictly prohibited and voids an IRA.If you are qualified for a Solo 401(k) by being self-employed with no full time employees, you can personally borrow from the plan in limited amounts.  

"We’ve grown from a very homogenous employment base in the ’80s, when it was fueled largely by construction and hospitality, to one that’s very diverse.

Can someone help  <25% owner, they will not consider you "self employed."
