Default Time Building/DA40

I am in Nashville, Tennessee and willing to meet anywhere within 100 miles for time building. Also, I am looking for a DA40 in the area to possibly buy 150 hours of hobbs to get my required TT. Anyone want to help a guy out?!

“Buy” 150 hrs? That’s $15-$20k.
Cheaper to get a CFI.

Perhaps $5-7K each if it's shared time (hood/SP), and they get a volume discount, or even less if one of them owns.

Also could get it done much more quickly than getting CFI rating(s) and then instructing. Also no exposure to career-delaying pink slips. If I was at 1350, I'd buy time too.

If he’s at 1350 he’s already got a CFI.
Instruct for another 150 hrs and get your ATP on a flightschool twin.

Hey everyone, thanks for the messages and responses.
I dont have 1350TT. I am a 250 commercial just looking to build a little more time and stay proficient while finishing school and possibly become a CFI. It is tough because I am not sure how good of a teacher I would be. I have looked into cargo/freight as well as sitting in FBO's and making connections.
