Is it possible to get lending for CRE while unemployed?

[Dan Tran]

As a total beginner, I have been reading about CRE investments and understand that banks will typically lend based on the property value, tenant (assuming national grade or reputable tenant), and/or the value of the lease.

Therefore, is it possible to get lending even if you're unemployed, as long as you have access to a good potential deal?

 If the answer is no, is it possible to have someone with strong assets or employment co-sign the loan with you as a partner? 

Asking mainly because I work as a technology consultant and have generally very demanding WLB (enough to make focusing on CRE very challenging).

Thanks for any and all advice!
