What financials does the bank need?

While simultaneously building our real estate portfolio so that my brother and I can be financially free and give our families the time they truly deserve. 

Besides my full time job as an Electrical Engineer I want to build a long time portfolio for financial freedom and satisfying my entrepreneurial soul.

I want to get into Real Estate to ultimately achieve financial freedom but am overwhelmed at the idea of where to start. 

However, I’m having trouble finding how to allocate my money to build a financial base while making a move towards buying my first investment property.I’m newly debt free with 10k in savings and able to save 50% of my income.

I have recently witnessed some people around me that I look up to have financial troubles in fields/jobs that should be “secure.”

The added fees, and compliance regulations have almost eliminated small independent investors, and financial institutions from doing mortgages, and in return have actually created worse situations for many consumers.

These loans are available for 1-4 unit properties as well and are quite common for those with income restrictions since they consider the deal itself more than personal financials.
