In addition to what others said, I believe the 135 operation is
certified by the FSDO region they are in. If you buy the 135 operation
and move it you may need to reapply for the certificate. BTW: Our
Sacramento FSDO guy said it shouldn't be too hard to get a 135
certificate. Of course insurance is tough.

Getting a 135 isn't too hard, that is right, but it takes a while to get
it. We kinda want to get this started by fall, so we'll see. I am not
even at the 135 minimums yet, but I will be easily by fall. I have been
flying the dead legs with a local 135 operator, so my twin time is
building up quickly. To be honest, I am very wet behind the ears for
time.

Whatever training you have now and before the 135 op won't satisfy the
FAA. They will want more training of a specific type. Also, your
biggest problem is going to be finding an IA that will do 135
maintenance. The FAA's main concern is going to be your aircraft
maintenance. It is easier if you buy a new plane or a used plane
already under 135 maintenance, but ask around of the local IA's. That
is your biggest bottleneck, aircraft maintenance.

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

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.
