Real Quickie - Yes /No Advice

Very quick background:
  • Age 34, always dreamed of being a pilot
  • Year ago achieved PPL in South Africa - currently have 75 hours
  • PPL confirmed what I always knew - I want to be a pro!!
  • Seperated from wife been trying to sell house for +18 months
  • If we get the near asking price would have sufficient equity to pay for majority of training
  • House now being rented and i'm in a rent free situation
  • Have a good job in financial services which does not really interest me with long commute (5 hours each day)
Issue:
I'm at the point of saying, I can't wait any longer for the credit crunch to end and the housing market to recover - i'm not getting any younger!!. I'll find some credit (I have a few ideas), quit the job, go modular and hopefully have a licence by the time the upturn comes around again. At that point I should be able to sell the house and pay off the credit. If I don't try I'll never know!!

Question:
Is my logic flawed and would you do it - Yes/No

Cheers
