what are the FAA minimums for becoming a CFI.. i know you need the commercial ticket and the instrument rating, but are there particulars as far as dual hours specifically geared towards a CFI ticket? secondly, can a CFI and CFII course be done cocurrently? lastly, approximate cost of all this, assuming the aircraft is 75/ hr and instruction is 35/hr?

deciding whether to go the CFI route, just need a litttle more information, looking for experienced input here.. thanks..
PM if you want to discuss this further with me
