Quote from @Travis Timmons:

I don't know your situation; if you have 6 figures in cash reserves and waiting to see what is next, go for it. Get a DSCR loan. If you are looking at real estate as a way to earn income since you don't have a job, that's a really bad strategy. Properties really don't make any money for a year or two.

 @Travis Timmons Thank you, I am not looking for cash flow immediately but want to get started with what I have saved so far. Thank you for the suggestion. 

Quote from @Danny Gonzalez:

Consider going the private money route. If you know someone who can lend you the funds, they can act as the bank, and you repay them with interest once you execute your business plan. This is how I got started, and I've flipped over 75 homes in the past few years.

That said, make sure you have reserves and are smart with your finances. If money is only going out and none is coming in, your savings can deplete very quickly.

Best of luck!

@Danny Gonzalez any suggestions, or recommendations on how to find them? 

Quote from @Kevin Sobilo:

@Gurusubramaniam Sundararaman, what is your income source if you don't have a job? You say these deals are "within my budget". So, that clearly implies that you have an income source that you are basing your budget on.

 @Kevin Sobilo I have money saved up and it is currently in an investment account, and my spouse earns monthly which I don't want to use for rental investments since the whole of that goes in for running the family. i am budgeting it based on the returns i get from the investments i have in place. 

Quote from @Jonathan Greene:

You are really asking this? How do you think you can get approved for a conventional loan without a job and why are you trying to invest in property, get a loan on it, when you have no income? I would focus on getting a job and not properties.

If you were dead set on it, you could use a DSCR loan as your only option if the lender will approve it based on the property rentability.

Yes, I am asking this for real, I'm trying to invest because I want to start somewhere to build my own business. The market is not great right now for finding a job in IT and I'm tired of getting off people and again recruiting them. I do not know anything other than computers and IT and been exploring what else I can do to switch my profession. 

I do have cash reserve invested which I wanted to utilize and acquire properties so that this becomes my primary business line and yes, I do have cash flow because my spouse is earning. 

Hi, I moved from CA to NC, and I lost my job. Recently came across a few good within my budget properties and do not want to lose the opportunity to invest and wondering how to go about the loans since I am not employed anymore and the lenders that I was working with for previous properties always ask me for employment verification and 90 days' pay slip.

What are my options to get loans for investment properties? 

@Patrick Drury Currently with just primary and 1 investment property out of state, I am finding it hard to keep track of these URLs, I didn't opt for Escrow for taxes since I want that to be in my control, so I invest them in other forms.  

How do you all manage multiple properties? I am finding it a bit challenging to keep track of all the URLs like HOA, Electric, Gas, Solar, Taxes, etc. in one place.
