How many loans do you have?

Hey everyone!

One of the most crucial steps in acquiring property is getting the finance to be able to purchase. However in order to build a portfolio you are most certainly going to need more than one loan.

So, my twofold question is: How many loans do you currently have?

and

If you had to lose your day job, would you be able to support all the loans that you have?

I am interested to hear what you have to say, and if you have any extra stories / situations to add, I would love to hear them too.

I haven't jumped in to REI yet so maybe I'm missing something. But isn't the point of this that the loans kinda support themselves? So lets say I had 5 properties I was renting each cash-flowing $200 a month and I lost my job. Wouldn't my properties really be helping me stay a float with an extra $1,000 a month?
