How many hours are required for twin insurance

The ONLY people to answer this are the insurance companies... Call them and
ask. Give a for-instance... It depends on the ratings you have, the
distribution of your time (complex, high-performance) and the airplane you
want to buy. I was able to get insured through Avemco in an Apache with 200
hours TT and only 25 multi (in make and model).

Too much riding on the answer to ask us. Ask the insurance companies.

Greeting to All,

I am investigating the possibility of purchasing my own plane in the next
12
months. With the soft prices on twin airplanes, they are starting to look
a
little more appealing to me than a big single. I have spent a lot of time
investigating costs associated with maintenance so I don't want to stir up
anything.

My question is.... how many hours of multi-engine time are insurance
companies looking for before they would sell you a policy for your own
twin?
If this is not to outragous, then I will probably get my ME rating and
then
rent a twin to build hours before my purchase.

If you have some information, please also include the underwriter that you
are referring to.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
