True Story:A former employer recently e-mailed me with details of a situation that I find quite disturbing.

@Dave FosterYeah, I would bet you're gonna be just fine, employment-wise, Dave. 

I do all my own work as I'm not otherwise employed but even if you can't or don't want to quit your job, it's possible to find a good team to do the work for you; most importantly, you need to know everything there is about the projects they will be doing for you so you can price out the rehab and don't get ripped off.

I come here in hopes of getting more opinions on if I have my head on right or not and what tweaks need to be made.I will start by saying that I would like to be self-employed by 30 and when my first child does come in my 30s I will want (unceasingly) the desire to be a stay at home parent.

I can now see how I would employ a different strategy based on the dictates of each market.  

Talk to your bank, if you have experience in construction you shouldn't have a problem, if you don't employ a contractor and you work for/with them.

Firstly, we directly employ near 35 people.

She has mentioned that some firms have training programs but they are not always paying positions.To be clear, I'm seeking an employment position, not a apprenticeship. 

This one is important, the top 3 credit unions for vets and specially for investing purpose are USAA, NFCU and Penfed.If you are self employed and you apply for a mortgage with USAA, believe me when i say this from experience, its TEN times easier and faster to get approve then you would get with a credit union or bank outside of any military credit unions.

Do you know someone with a 401K from a past employer that can be turned into a self directed IRA.
