Thanks for all the insight. I'll be deciding over the next few weeks.

Im definitely going to get the ppl first in someone else's plane. More specifically, should i build up several hours of "practice" in a less complex plane, or not worry about the transition too much even with low time? My options are: 1)Rent, which means flying a lot less often. 2)buy a 150 or 172 build up some time/experience, interment rating. Sell and move up. 3)finish ppl, transition into mooney. How long is the insurance dual usually for a low time pilot?

Just looking for opinions. i really like the mooney design as well as specs. I have a dilemma. Should I wait to rack up a few hours before upgrading and in the meantime just rent or purchase a little time building cessna, or say "heck with it" and get a J model and use it to get my ratings? I am finishing up my ppl so I am obviously a low time pilot. Any advice is appreciated. (almost impossible to rent anything around here without driving 1.5 hours first.
