Can become a full-time investor if I lost my job?

[Elizabeth D.]

Hello all- I’m trying to turn this temporary setback into a positive opportunity. I’ve recently and unexpectedly lost my job. Prior to losing my job, I acquired 2 homes and updated for rentals. I’ve ‘lurked’ boards, read books and blogs but just haven’t been able to actually make a move beyond a personal traditional real estate purchase. I figured now might be the right time to find my guts but I keep asking myself if I can become an investor if I lost my job? I do enjoy real estate and I’m curious if anyone else been in this situation? Thanks!
