Traveling investor with no job?

[Jeff Wright]

So after 10 years in my profession my wife and our 8 kids (yes 8 kids) have decided to travel for a year or so in our very large RV.  With 200k in the bank (150 invest, 50 travel) we would like to move from just stock investing to RE.  I have lots of construction background and business experience in government but no actual RE experience other than the purchase, rehab, and sell of our current home. My question is with funding. Obviously financing a new home without a current employer would be more difficult than having one, but what are my options for financing without employment over the next year?  I'm in a position where I would rather be leveraged than spend it all in one place.  Opinions?  And thanks.

Thanks for that @Lexi Teifke.  I dont know a lot about private lending so thanks for sharing.  I will reach out to you with questions as they come up if that is ok.  We are getting closer to pulling the trigger, but not quite there yet.
