This might be good advice in a general sense, but there are exceptions. That right twin could be bought, flown for a year (enough time to acquire a couple 100 hours) and sold for close to the original investment in a short term. Another option is to place it on leaseback with a flight school to recoup costs. Twins are getting harder and harder to find at flight schools so there could be a lot of rental revenue there, enough to offset costs.
