    Thank You very much! This was by far one of the most helpful, realistic, and productive comments I have had on here. You sound like you have went into the business thinking in the same way I am. I am not reliant upon its income to survive so I want to do things right, slow, and not get in...

    Agreed, I am not expecting much from the low end aircraft either. Ive been in the industry and worked around that side of aviation enough to know they are not only not willing to pay for a service such as this, but many just simply cant afford to throw 5 grand at someone to do something they...

    I can definitely agree with this and it was actually my initial intention to take a route such as this. Unfortunately there doesnt seem to be much for large operations within my region that hire additional sales staff. Every where in the region seems to be one or two man operations. Unlike...

    The support is much appreciated. Great story as well. An associate of my other business was actually on the edge of purchasing a beautiful 235 in SC, I will give him a ring and see if he pulled the trigger, if not I will get you some info.

    Mindsets like yours have been what has fueled me to be successful within my other businesses these past ten years. Each endeavor I have taken on has had way more reasons it wouldnt work than those as to why it should work. I have worked my butt off at each of them and have established...

    Hahaaa. I plan on staying away from these aircraft. Ive got a high min fee set as I dont really want to deal with old raggidy birds and getting that reputation. Ive met some shady dealers through the years that deal these unairworthy hanger queens. Throw a $1000 paint job on it, mark it up...
