Muahahaha!

Seriously though, I once made a compilation of most of the repeatable tasks, however EA decided to GO AND CLOSE THE LOOP on a bunch of those quests.

So I stopped, updating it.....it took over an hour to find the last time I posted the list..

I've only been playing 3 months or so Im hurting more for land then anything right now

I'd say back off on the KEM farming a bit and allocate some of those funds into buying more buildings. You will then find that you CAN suddenly afford to buy land.
Oh, wait. What about Springfield Heights? Have you opened that up yet? If so then your best bet (since you have plenty of time on your hands) is to grind out Furniture, Lattes, Smart Devices, etc and open up that land. A bunch of the buildings even boost your multiplier at no cost except the labor.
That's exactly what I did on my #3 game. Then I crammed buildings in everywhere until I could afford more land.
And don't forget to expand your Squidport. There's a bunch of buildings that will go there, too.
I've sent you an invite to my #3 100% freemium town so you can have a look around. The town name is bearnonymous. Just pardon the mess. I tend to just dump things everywhere "until I have time to clean up".

@shirey1315 Have you read the tip thread yet? Scroll down to when you see the max cash and bonus boxes. Right after that, is some great info on getting a premium paying job for almost everyone in town. https://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/90074/tips-for-players/p1
and another good thread

The Unemployment office will just send them to the first job on the list, which usually is not the highest paying.

Well that sucks

There are some buildings that make everyone pay premium that also work with the UI office. I'm sure there's a list somewhere, that I can't find when I want it :cry:

In addition there's also a fee for using the Unemployment office.
Eventually you get to the point where there's a trade off in time spent vs cash achieved. It takes about 10 minutes for me to send all my characters on jobs manually - and I have 3 towns.
If you keep doing the same actions over and over you'll eventually burn out.
On the other hand I haven't hurt for cash in a long time. In fact, I have a 1.5 BILLION surplus in 2 of my games (I haven't been playing the 3rd game as long so I've got a ways to go in it, but I'm getting there).
How do you get a huge cash surplus? House farming. It's not as easy or fast as it used to be because of the increase in cost for each building, but it's still do-able.
Since you seem to have plenty of time to play I'll recommend starting with Purple (3 hour payout) and Pink Houses (6 hour). For other people out there reading this who can't get into the game as often I'd recommend Blue (8 hour) or White (12 Hour) houses. There's even Orange (16 hour) Houses for those who don't play a lot.
There are also Gulp N' Blows, but they're inadvisable (more on that later).
Buy a building. Note how much it cost and how much it pays out every interval. Once you've recovered the cost buy another. Repeat, repeat, repeat... Do this at least until the price tops out. The trick here is that with each building you buy your income increases so it takes less time to recover the cost.
Oh, here are the charts on pricing and payouts thanks to @Muhsterino .
Once you have a good steady income you can start KEM farming with ease, never having to worry about the price of KEMs or the cost of 2nd and 3rd chances for donuts. You'll also start getting Lard Lads, which pay out premium every 4 hours (I have 119 so far and counting). They pay out better than Gulp N' Blows and if you're KEM farming you're going to get them anyway.

Well I just started kem farming my multiplier is 566 right now so I don't have much room for house farming but I'm making about 200 hundred to 3 hundred grand every 4 hours to replace the kems I only have about 2 million so I don't know if it's better to stop the kem farming for a bit and throw down some houses to get more money and yeah I'm on every hour to redo my jobs I've only been playing 3 months or so Im hurting more for land then anything right now

Yeah I have heights I try and grind then get so bored I just set the 8 tasks to get alot Im level 500 something so I have buildings and alot of premium buildings I guess I could stop farming and put houses I was just trying to kem farm to get more mystery boxes I wanna get closer to 800 if I do house farm what do you think be the best house to put down I'm not working right now so I can get on whenever

I have some of all of them. Though really I think the best buy for the buck is Blue. That's how I got my big lead in the other 2 games. About a week ago I bought about 100 Blue Houses for my #3 game so I could eliminate the Purple and Pink Houses. I don't log in as often as I used to (hourly) and I'm trying hard to kick the habit. I haven't recovered the cost of the new Blues yet, but I will in a few days.
And you don't have to stop KEM farming completely, just cut back enough to buy ONE house every day. I was KEM farming from the moment I opened up enough land to plant about 10 at a time. Now I'm doing 35 every 4 hours, and I bring in about 50 donuts a day. My multiplier will hit 1000% later today (if all goes as planned and the servers don't go down...).
