I already have my CFI just to clarify.
Thanks

Get the MEI first, then do the CFII as a seperate ride (you can do it in a twin if you want).

I did my CFII and MEI at the same time.... I trained in a Duchess while getting my 15 hrs PIC and as soon as I got them I went to the checkride where the DE didn't want to do both checkrides in the same airplane so we jumped in the Duchess and did the MEI portion and then went on a C172 and finished the CFII. I would highly recommend it, it does take more work and you will need to prep more but it is doable and it pays off at the end. Make sure you call the DE in advance and let him know of your thoughts and to make sure that he can do both checkrides because some DEs can't do MEI checkrides and some can. Best of luck.

BTW, you only need one checkride for the CFII. Works for ME or SE.

To back up ToiletDuck, you can give instrument instruction in a multi-engine airplane if you do not have your MEI. You can only log time as a flight instructor and PIC only while the dual recipient is under the hood. You just have to make sure that you are current for multi-engine if you are going to log PIC. 3 takeoffs and landings in category and class for day and night as appropriate.

Huggie bear. You would be best served with a google search or by using the search engine that this forum has. Your question will not get much exposure piggybacking onto another persons topic.
If you are looking for money there are not any grants per se but if you are military you can use your MGIB benefits. Other than that you can get a job or use a sallie mae loan or any other loan of your choice
