@Hannah Costello If you would like to qualify for a loan by the end of the year I would suggest that you find a job in the same industry, and you should be able to count that W2 income right away.

Another idea is to open a brokerage / investing account with whichever company also holds your 401k money, and put your "savings" into a total market index fund or into the S&P 500 or some other index fund that spans multiple industries.

I've called around to banks about getting a SBA loan and they said that you need to already be in the industry or have some type of expierence ?

I purchased a partial in late 2019 in the notes space as my first step into the note industry, from an investor perspective you have a lot of advantages over owning the physical property when it comes to maintenance costs; and there are a lot of other benefits to being the bank as well when it comes to handling the financial side of mortgages.

All of that needs to be taken up with FNMA, the true dictator of appraisals and the appraisal industry.

With the major industry heads bringing their corporate offices to Nashville, why not capitalize off of that!

This particular industry lends itself to working in the cloud.

Being in the construction industry, I like the AIA system. 

Of course we have a strong military and industrial economy, but also Amazon just bought a large parcel in Suffolk.

There are professionals here in BP that are specialized in the industry and in Quickbooks, try reaching out to a few of them.
