I have mentioned this many times before but what do you think would happen to the auto industry if all vehicles had to be paid for in cash like many foreign countries.. that's why there are so few cars in many of those countries.. and what would happen to private aviation where light aircraft enjoy 90% financing for 20 years at 4 to 6% interest and there are tax benefits but they start at 400 k  and light jets that start at 3 million or light turbo props at 2 million.. yet hundreds of these are sold each year .. all because of credit.and just like commercial airliners many are leased and those leasing companies are buy 50 million dollar or 100 million dollar planes with credit not cash then leasing them to the airline.s   bottom line credit freeze's we see what happened. 

POL came on the scene and they were doing HML at very high rates and points in NJ .. so my back ground other than recreational private aviation that I pay through the nose for.. :)  is HML  and I am thinking wow .. this is going to some heartache and sure enough some of the folks that posted have done like 10 loans and 7 are in default.. the foreclosure time in NJ and NY two states I personally would never be a lender in is 2 to 3 years.. and by the time you get the asset back its ouch time.. and that has played out for some folks and there is a high profile one in Atlanta that has been going on for years.. suppose to sell at 6.5 million and its listed under 3 now.. although I think they may get their principal back or most of it but its been 2 or 3 years.. and you know how investors get stressed.. and then the other issue I saw coming with crowd funding .. and remember my background is I have owned 2  Hml companies over the years one of them in Oakland CA with 250 clients and about 50 million under management.. these guys went about raising money from 5 to 10k investors and would literally have 20 or 30 investors in one loan..

To be honest, I would be interested in a podcast that targeted Military aviators regarding their decision to stay or go.

or private aviation.. were you can buy 500 to 10 million dollar planes with 5% down and get section 179  that industry would crash.. just like RVs and all other manner of things we really don't need  :)  Credit that's what runs this stuff.. 

I am in Aviation currently in Africa but things change so its hard to pin down where I will be at any given time.

I'm a native of Vegas (born & raised); former army aviator, and have been a full-time investor since 2012. 

His current employer is the Federal Aviation Association where he has been working for over twenty years.

Your activity level in Flight School will be intense at times, and I would suggest you don't need other distractions from concentrating on perfecting your aviation skills. 

The life insurance investment I think is called a viatical. 

I have a great job in the aviation field and dont plan on quitting.
