Depending on what you want to do with the rating, a VFR-only twin pilot
would be rather limited. Getting the instrument rating before the multi
would make you more marketable, if that's your intent (and save you an
extra checkride).


Many Rental Agencies will not rent a Twin to a VFR Pilot
The insurance company makes the rules.

I rent a Seneca II that requires Instrument Rating, 500hrs total time and 75
hours ME time.
You can get around the 75 hr requirement if you complete the ME Rating with
their program and in their airplane, but you are limited to 1 pax until
50hrs ME time.

If you can rent a Twin without the Instrument rating. Then work on your
commercial written and maneuvers in a Piper Arrow or similar aircraft, at
the same time intersperse some Twin Training.

Take the Commercial SEL check ride one month, and the Commercial MEL within
a few days.
Without an Instrument Rating, your Commercial credentials will be limited.
