Default looking for advice

I had all my ratings thru CFI 15 years ago. I had small children and stopped flying due to not seeing my kids. Now 15 years later and retired (53) I have time to fly again. With the new age requirement by the FAA I would like to get back into flying. I live in North Atlanta and I’m trying to figure out how to become current again and build some time.
My time is low 450TT with only 12 multi. Any suggestions ?

Probably work on renewing the CFI. That way it gets you back in the cockpit and a fresh renewal.

Perhaps do some flight instruction, start sharpening up those flying skills and networking!

Start by getting the Multi-Engine Instructor rating. You'll need 15 hours of Multi PIC to qualify for the checkride. Before doing that you'll want to freshen up on all aviation knowledge and Fundamentals of Instructing. That one checkride will renew your expired CFIs. Then instruct. If your in north Atlanta then I'd check out ATP. My friend had an expired CFI that was renewed by getting the MEI through them. Worked out well because he got on as an instructor too. Just a thought.
