No w-2 or income...How do I finance a portfolio

[David Nadelstumph]

I recently sold a restaurant of mine and my wife and I are currently looking for another small biz. I currently have no w-2 or income. I want to start an investment portfolio. I paid cash for first deal a week ago but am finding it difficult to finance future deals. The lack of income is only temporary. We have no debt and substantial savings.

Should I be looking for $ someplace else?

Thank You
