Advice needing on w2 jobs
Advice Needed.
I feel very stuck at the moment. My goal is to invest in real estate but I'm struggling with the w2 job aspect.
I currently make money with Uber/Lyft and I flip items to sell online. I have 3 Aussies that keep me from working 40 hours a week. My previous work experience in Mental Health (9 yrs)
My questions are:
1. Do I just need to get a w2 paying ft job somewhere in order to qualify for a loan?
2. Would it be best if I go back to Mental Health so that I have more than 2 years in a certain field?
3. Should I get a job somewhere in the real estate world like Property Management or an Agent?
Thanks in advance for all your help and advice.

You do not need a W2 to get a loan. Utilize owner finance and DSCR loans to own rentals.
