Your not going to like this answer but you should get another job. Without an income stream your not going to be able to obtain capital or loans. Real Estate Investing is not supposed to be a way to generate income when you have none. It is a place to park capital and earn a return on it.
If your dream is to generate income in the Real Estate field you could look at becoming a Realtor. If you are business minded, great at marketing and have some sales chops it can be a very lucrative career which you can then parlay very well into Real Estate Investing.
