@Jessica H. job market in Middle Tennessee continues to be strong and diverse. Logistics, Auto, Healthcare, Tech, Transportation, State and local govt, Tourism, Music, Sports, etc. Nashville and surrounding areas continue to be robust in all industries. Unlike a lot of cities where they depend on one industry to support the economy Nashville has multiple sectors across the board.
Construction has not stopped in Middle Tennessee since COVID-19 because it has been deemed essential. I work directly with flippers and there is no shortage of opportunities to flip in here as well. If you are dependable, you will have no problem at all finding a project management job. If you want to flip, I can get you connected to opportunities.
As far as buying a farm. A lot depends on what you want on the farm. Quite popular for horse farms is Williamson Co., but you are also in the most expensive county in Middle Tennessee. Great areas for pasture and farm would be Wilson, Sumner, or Rutherford counties. Anything east of of I-65. You go west of I-65 and terrain gets hilly, wooded and steep in places.
