C'mon, I already committed to nothing bigger than could work in and out of 3000'. Besides, I'm not multir-engine rated.

I'll be going for my rotorcraft rating as well as my IFR rating pretty soon. I can get you where you want to go with a simple Bell JetRanger...

Rotorcraft *and* IFR? And presumably Instrument Rotorcraft? You must be rich now. :-)

Getting a whirlybird rating will teach you not to use "simple" and "JetRanger" (used prices run about half a mil these days) in the same sentence, too. In fact, "rotary-wing aircraft" is a misnomer, it is well-known that they are not actually aircraft at all, but rather are collections of moving parts flying in close formation.

Operating a turbine helo from your home will teach you new things about community relations...:-)
