Suggestions Welcomed - Cash Out Refinance Question

[Scott Rubzin]

I have 3 rental properties out in Charlotte, NC that i own free and clear.  Trying to do a cash out refinance but i am running into the same issue which is.......

2016 W2 income and 2017 Self Employed

I also have cash to show in brokerage accounts, bank accounts and mutual funds. 

all 3 properties are rented out as well

Any suggestions? or is it best to wait until i can show a second year of self employed?
