I bit the bait and did the zero to hero program at ATP, and ended up finishing CFI and CFII at a local school. Total cost was about 80k for private single and multi, instrument airplane, commercial single and multi, CFI-A and CFI-I, plus about 50 hours multi PIC and my high performance endorsement, which was free with my first CFI job.

If I had to do it again, I would probably go with a good local FBO (or if local weather patterns mean VFR days are hard to comedy, then go to Phoenix or equivalent). Know your stuff before you fly and you won't waste time. Prices should be closer to 30 or 40k depending on fuel prices and number of failures.

Best of luck!
