Thanks for your thoughtful response,

While I understand your perspective, I personally believe this kind of event isn’t just a remote possibility—it’s inevitable. I’m certain that within the next five years, we will face a major war or even a nuclear conflict. I’m not asking hypothetically or out of paranoia—I genuinely know this is coming, and that’s why I’m actively seeking real strategies to protect my investments. If I didn’t feel this was unavoidable, I wouldn’t be asking these questions or hesitating to expand my portfolio.

I’ve been researching how to safeguard my rental properties in case of a major war or even a nuclear event. I couldn’t find any insurance companies that cover war-related damages, including nuclear threats.

If such a worst-case scenario were to happen and a property gets destroyed, would I still be on the hook for the mortgage loan? Is there any strategy or financial product that can help mitigate that kind of risk?

I’m currently in a position to expand my rental portfolio, but this uncertainty is making me hesitate. How do seasoned investors manage or plan for these extreme risks?

Hey Derek,

Thanks for the quick response! My degree is in Information Technology. I graduated from community college over a year ago, and I'm now a senior at university. The W2 job I'm considering is in automotive window tinting, which isn't related to my degree, with a possible salary of $60k-$70k. While I know I can start a business making around $7k a month, my immediate goal is to house hack, and my concern is about qualifying for an FHA loan.

Any insights you have on this would be greatly appreciated!

Best,

Saed

I recently graduated from college and am considering taking a W2 job that is outside my field of study. Will having this job qualify me for an FHA loan, even though it's not related to my degree? I prefer not to wait two years to provide tax returns. Any insights or advice would be appreciated!
