Network through your closest circles.  

The closest other towns are almost an hour away, and prices are steadily increasing out of my price range there as well.

Clearly you've been drinking copious amounts of the bureaucratic Kool Aid.

No one said you can’t have your closest friends living with you ;).

The new federal program, created as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act in March, made self-employed people, gig workers and contractors eligible for jobless aid for the first time.

In terms of new construction that would meet your needs, I think the closest thing you'll find in NOVA would be a place where you could do a basement rental.

And I also know that many schools use a financial aid calculator that does NOT exclude small family business assets, so probably an academic exercise at the end of the day...)

Closest I can get is foreclosures that need work and I'm having an extremely hard time finding deals that break 1%.

I’d love any helpful advice that can aid my career and can help me provide more and better value to investors.

But it hasn't really touched the barely functioning mechanical systems that have been band-aided together for decades.
