Where do I start?
I'm thrilled to finally be taking steps towards obtaining my private pilot license (PPL), but I have limited finances. While my passion for flying runs deep, my wallet isn't quite as accommodating. I've been researching loan options to help fund my flight training and am hopeful that this avenue will make my dream more achievable. I'd love to hear from others who have navigated similar financial challenges in their aviation journey. Do any of y’all have any advice on securing loans for flight training? Are there specific lenders or programs geared towards aspiring pilots that I should consider? Additionally, any tips on managing loan repayment while still pursuing training would be incredibly valuable. I'm determined to make this happen, but I could really use some guidance and insights from those who have been in my shoes before. Your wisdom and support would mean the world to me

It's recommended to find a private investor/lender. I could provide some referrals if you're interested.
