I'm not sure if that could be done in tandem with another (much larger) note that would be payable (in payments) at closing. n n\- I've had no / negative income the last couple of years. I took some time off from my 20+ year profession, lived off of savings and some credit while I explored other career paths because I needed a change. I did learn a couple of high value trades, and did incur some expenses in that process.nn\- No direct industry experience.
