Buying second property

[Simon C.]

Hi all,

My question is how/ what kind of loan could I qualify for as a newly licensed realtor with no W2 or full time income?

I have built up some equity with my current conventional mortgage on an owner occupied triplex, and have saved up enough for a down payment on a second investment property, either multi-family or live-in fixer upper,

Could I used future rental income from tenants to help me qualify?

My credit score is excellent,

Would a home equity loan or HELOC be better in this case?

How can I get the best rates?

Any advice appreciated, thanks!
