Since you want to keep your next outlay to a minimum and you've specified that minimum as $5000, go get your CFI-A and instruct. It's your best course of action. You can make money as a CFI and work a second job somewhere to build more money to either live on or put toward that multi certification. Just remember, to become a commercial multi-engine instructor, you need to first get your commercial multi-engine, then go through the motions to get your MEI, both will cost you more than $5k in total.

Get the CFI, instruct, build time, and throw out the resumes once you're past 500/100...unless like someone else said, you can just try Mesa or TSA. They'll take anyone with a pulse, but I don't think you're quite there yet.

BTW, getting your MEI only means you can bulid multi time on someone else's buck. Just like the CFI/CFII.
