Advice for newbie, single mom

[Darcie Sepko]

Just became a single mom this year, currently unemployed and wondering how to invest my total savings into a multi-family property. I have a significant amount to invest but lack stable income which would disqualify me for refinance?  Transitioning to employment in the real estate field seems like a good idea to educate myself.  just wondering how to start while taking care of a little one.  Currently living in an expensive location.
