To add to that, if you go back to working in the industry you last worked in, depending on how long you haven't been working, your past time working could count towards the two years of income they'll want to look at. But if you go into a new field they'll want to see two years income from your starting date in that field.

If you want to get into hands on investing more quickly, you may consider trying to work for cheap with a building contractor. Photograph what you do / help with while you're there and develop a construction network, then if you find a good rehab deal you can use that evidence of your knowledge and experience in construction to persuade a partner to help you with capital and/or income verification, and/or to secure a loan with a hard money lender.
