Non-conventional owner-occupied loans?

What type of commercial/portfolio loans exist for those looking to owner-occupy either a SFH or MFR?

I don't qualify for conventional Fannie/Freddie loans due to the lack of income reflected on my tax returns.

I'm currently renting but I've been thinking about possibly house-hacking a multifamily or just buying a primary.

I've heard about owner-occupied portfolio loans on a few different podcasts but I rarely see it discussed.

Does anyone have any first hand experience or insight they could share with me regarding the possible options?

I have great credit, healthy cash reserves and no debt so I check all of the other boxes outside of the income aspect.

I'd like to stop renting and purchase something instead where I can be gaining equity, appreciation, tax benefits, etc.

Any commercial/portfolio lenders here on BP familiar with the owner-occupied programs that are out there?
