Take a sabbatical from regular job to focus on RE venture ...

[Henri Meli]

Has anyone ever taken extended time off (2-3 months) from their regular job to focus on their real estate venture? 

I'm interested in purchasing a multi family, that will require a good amount of work. After the purchase, I imagine I will be spending lots of time supervising improvements to it for a good while, until I can stabilize the whole thing. I get the standard 2 weeks vacations and holidays every year, but that's not nearly enough. I can afford to go a few months without a regular salary.

Can a few months off have any impact on my ability to borrow money down the road (after joining the 9-5 workforce again)?
