Lock in Line of Credit before I lose my job?
If I might lose my job soon, would it be smart to lock in at least a line of credit before I won't be able to qualify anymore? Or doesn't it work that way? I'm planning on buying a rental when I have 80k in savings which could be soon.
On a side note if I do lose my job, that might be the extra push I need to get into RE full time.

@Nathan Barshinger dig your well before you need it. Yes get the line of credit while you still have income to qualify.
