I want to buy a plane by year-end but they're not making it easy.

Yes but with real estate, at least, you can go to an open house!!!

I don't have my ticket yet -- and I'm really committed because I want to
buy
my own plane to train and fly -- and I want to take advantage of the tax
write-off about to expire at year end.///

I've been at this since August.
But, hell, they're not making it easy.




Hey T. Roger,

I feel your pain (well kinda). I mess with a little real estate and run
into the same thing. In order to look at a property
you must be "pre-qualified" with many brokers. Well.......I may pay cash.
So I am not going to go through the process of filling out a credit
application, etc.

There is a trade off on this though. Real estate agents and aircraft
dealers don't have time to mess with all the "flakes" who would like to
buy something, but don't have the resourses.
You made the statement about "trying" to get financing for a 200k
purchase.....they probably picked up on that. Most people who want to make
a 200k purchase don't have any doubt about getting the money, as I don't
have any doubt about getting the money for real estate purchases.

Perhaps if you were a little more circumspect with them?????

Of course if you are 22 years old you will have to prove that you are a
rock star, professional athlete, etc. :-)

Good luck,

Dan
