I would by the twin

Be careful what you ask for......it may come true!
Do you know what the costs of owning a single let alone a twin are. I've thought about buying one 1000000000 times over. Its far better to find a cheap rental and split the time. Your only chained to paying $75/hour or so if you split the time, compared to a $25,000 engine job. big difference.

By the twin and get your MEI so you can instruct in your own airplane

[/ QUOTE ]

If you've been around the industry for a month, you'll soon find that twin students don't go walking around airports looking for their ratings. They pretty much are cropped from the time their privates at the school in which they got their other ratings from.

You and your wife could by the twin and fly around the country together while sharing the time as PIC. It would be a wonderful experience and a good way to see the U.S. and Canada.

I agree, but know what kind of financial burden your committing too!

[ QUOTE ]
no kids, and a mortgage

[/ QUOTE ]

You have a huuuuuuuuge advantage by not having payments for that much longer! Pay off that house and perhaps then buying the twin would not be that much of a burden.

I know I didn't give many suggestions on helping, but I just wanted to you to know what your getting yourself into.

Good Luck!
