Do I need a JOB to get a loan? Full time flipper no profession.

So I am trying to get a traditional loan to be able to flip more houses because my bottleneck is funds right now.  I know that I can go the investor route but my question to everyone is "will a bank give me a loan"?

I have just finished my 3rd flip with success and it sold in one day for full price.  I take great pride in doing all the work myself for the time being but am looking to expand.  

Because I have no job will a bank accept a "portfolio of houses" that I have completed as proof?  It is really hard being a 25 years old with no job and student loans trying to get money from a bank.  I flip houses full time and do the work myself, but im starting to think I might need to get a job so a bank will give me money.

What banks are the most lenient with "buy and hold" and "fix and flips"?

Reasons why im turned down

  • 25 years old
  • have college debt
  • no job (flipped 3 houses full time)
