I currently have what I believe to be a fair amount of money invested in the stock market, and that'll only grow thanks to the vesting of additional equity from my employer.  

Does your occupation affect your credit score?

I don't see that a bank would approve of the loan given the lack of employment history related to being a college student.

**Overall Picture*** Age: 59/57* Income: Father - $100,000 Salary - ~$5.5k/month net (mother unemployed, not looking)* Credit Score: 857* Extraordinary Expenses: $0* Mortgage Debt: $222,000* Consumer Debt: $0* Cash Savings: $30,000* Investments: $70,000 - Work Account (unknown type, fully vested, 100% employer contributions over ~6 years) - $19,000 - 401k Account (unrelated to work?)

I'm looking for funding, and to build a relationship, with a local lender.It'll be for my first rental property, but I'm self-employed and just sold my business so no W2.  

@Kevin GeraceAs long as your intent is to flip the property, the sale profit will be ordinary self-employment income.  

This discussion reminds me of the story of Paul Feldman, a cubicle-imprisoned bureaucrat in Washington DC who escaped by starting a Bagel & cream cheese /doughnut delivery service in various office buildings around and including his former employer.  

Many self employed people have to do this.

I am an employee holding 401k plan from my employer.
