. . . however the plane I am looking at is a 1980 Piper

the plane would fly enough to offset some of the cost of purchasing it.
I understand that it cannot be used for GA training. but I was wondering
if there was a big enough market out there on a rental basis that the
plane would fly enough to recoupe some financial outlay.

What are rates and availability on local rental 182s? Can you match
or beat those rates and make money?
