Whatever training you have now and before the 135 op won't satisfy the
FAA. They will want more training of a specific type.

Not neccessarily- For a single-pilot operation, there is NO training
program.

Also, your
biggest problem is going to be finding an IA that will do 135
maintenance.

There are always IAs looking to make money. That isn't a problem. The IA
usually only does the paperwok anyway. A&Ps do the grunt work. Finding A&Ps
on a Sunday afternoon for unscheduled maintenance is the problem.
