You don't necessarily have to be employed, unless you are going for a conventional loan. You can go for a Hard Money Loan or Private Lender, but it is best if you have some cash to put in to the deal, to show a lender that you are really committed to the deal. Also, people tend to make different decisions if they have their own money involved as well.
