As far as flying goes I figure to get my license will spend around 7-11k and for now rental and want to get over a hundred hrs on my licence so if I rent elsewhere they aren't going to be so unwilling to rent but all that takes time and a lot of it looking earliest for licence maybe December if I pass everything then wonder what to do next

Getting your PPL by Dec may be a little optimistic, unless you are not working and have lots of time available. Most take 6 months or more (1 year is not unusual). Remember, you also have to schedule around weather (winds, low clouds, etc). I think the avg PPL takes 60+ hours and I know some that have taken over 100.

Despite what I said in my previous post, renting initially is good to start off with (I did that, too). It may take a while before you know what type of flying you will want to do (off airport, floats, $100 hamburger flights, etc.)
