As for building multi time, you mean to tell me that you are hanging around an airport for 12-20 hours a day as a CFI and there are no (ZERO) multi engine aircraft based at that airport? Get out of the office and talk to people. Ask people to ride along in their twins a couple of times and then ask if you can fly it (with them of course). If you take another pilot flying, you can still log PIC.

The only problem with that scenerio is currency. If you got your ME rating a while back, you will need to somehow get 3 TO/LNDGS to be able to carry passengers (the owner who just happens to also be a pilot). Chances are he may be a MEI, if not maybe he knows someone (he trusts a little more than he does you right now with his plane) that you can pay $20 to ride around the patch with you 3 times. Cheap multi-time. After a while he may even let you pay for fuel to use it on occasion after you have been with him a few times.

It is possible, I convinced a guy to let me use his plane to get my MEI. After I had flown with him so long, I only needed 3 hours of dual, and a checkride... only had to pay for gas and an examiner.

at my current airport the only twins i know of are UND's (so no way i could log that time) and 2 Senecas the company i work for owns(can't log that time either because they are only operated Part 135). just about everything hangered at the airport is a single (lots of mooneys)
