Any suggestions, previous experience with this, or ideas would be appreciated.
Looking to build hours for a job? This is what I was told to do once by a CFI. Buy a 150, fly the hell out of it, sell it. Good luck dude! Wish I had something more intelligent to say. The buying of an Apache I think is so so. If you have a maintenance issue now your plan has just backfired. I wouldn't totally poo poo the idea of buying an Apache, but I'd personally build my multi time through an FBO with a relatively cheap, but safe twin.

Keep us posted! Come fly by my home 'drome if you do!
