What to do! Laidoff today and in the middle of my buying my 2nd door

Hi BP Community,
I want to know if anyone who has had a similar experience is in the middle of buying their next property and getting laid off from their job. What did you do to mitigate the situation? 
I was laid off this morning. My next thought is to find another job that offers >= salary ASAP. I have $10K in EMD, so I am freaking out.

If, by any chance, someone has some leads to an opportunity. I am looking in the Riverside and San Diego areas. I was an IoT/Automation engineer. I am graduating the first week of May 2023 with my Masters in Applied Statistics. Feel free to shoot me a message so we can chat.

I appreciate you all,
Joel

@Joel Borja

Focus on finding a job first. If you have loan contingency you have an out

Also if not let seller know you lost job. Karma is a you know what and if I had a buyer who lost job and proved it I would let them walk and give deposit back. Not a fan of kicking someone while they are down
