I live north of Muncie, IN, and have been to ARR many times. Wish I had my MEI, I would offer my services to you and work you over.
But if you need someone with weather experience, I definitely have that, feel free to ask!

500 hours IS entry level, barely...it's barely beyond student. At 500 hours all ASEL land time is going to have the same meaning (unless it's an F-16). ME time might be more attractive, as would turbine time.
The F-16 is turbine, but a single, and not that valuable in terms of experience (for an airline) either. The deciding factor isn't the aircraft, it's the pilot.
Building time is a fools errand to begin with, and it's not the same as working for someone else. Gaining experience while getting a paycheck (however minimal the pay may be) is quite different than buy hours yourself and flying them off. Build experience, not hours.
I've known those who bought a small experimental and flew it to death, before applying for their first job. They had the money to invest and the time to do it. Personally, I'd much rather see someone put their nose to the grindstone and go flight instruct, fly jumpers, tow banners, and do all the other things that most of us have done to get ahead, rather than try to buy their way ahead.

Buy a cheap Arrow fly the **** out of it and get your CFI/II in it. Continue to fly in it and heck since you have the cash sell your CFI/II services in it. Make money with this is what I'm getting at. Don't just try and goodwill your services to others by saying just pay for gas... actually charge them what it costs for the airplane and your dual. While doing this go down to a place like Ari Ben/Aviator and buy a 100hr multi package that includes your MEI. That will cost you about 15k and is much cheaper than the down payment for the twin's you're looking at. Here's a couple sweet Arrow's with everything you need. BTW you can also snag one for cheaper.
