I think, for private owner-pilots, waiting for a better time is a mistake.
In this business, there is always a cloud on the horizon, and also another bus "just around the corner". Yet, usually, neither of these actually happens or, if it does happen, it happens in a modified form.
If you want to fly NOW then get the papers NOW and get the plane NOW.
Use the best route available for your circumstances, consistent with not closing off escape routes (e.g. avoid buying a plane which has had a pile of mods for which the paperwork cannot be found, because while that is OK for now, it will not be saleable abroad when you have to get an Export CofA).
I never noticed any IR Support Forum on Flyer
