How do I get a mortgage type loan without having a job?
I want to invest in rental properties. I have cash to get started; however, I do not have a job. Lenders require at least 2 years on the job for a mortgage. If I cannot leverage my investment, the return is the same as I get investing in stocks. Any suggestions for getting a mortgage or some type of loan to leverage my investment without having a 2 year work history?

You provide the cash for the down payment they get the loan.
