I am pretty sure that I will learn a lot and hopefully not all will be bad experiences.
I know that some unexpected expenses are yet to come however I don’t think that refraining myself to go ahead is the option. If a repair of 10 or 20k is needed I will react and find a solution. Maybe will have to ground it for a while, maybe I will have to dismantle and sell the plane part by part. Worst case scenario I will lose the plane cost, it’s not the end of the world, but it will be a hell of an experience. I don’t want to wait 10 years until I have 20k in my back pocket for anything that may occur. I am allowing 5k/year for ownership costs, dry. I think its reasonable. I am also planning to sell a share of it.

In fairness, it’s more of a question of when it comes and how often, rather than if.
Deadline extended to 30.06.2018. Not kidding.
Germany just released a new NfL, NfL 2-343-17: http://www.lba.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/NfLs/Technik/NfL_2-343-17.html
After the Cessna SID deadline of 31.12.2015, they now released this NfL on 10.05.2017, the deadline got extended to 30.06.2018.
There is no typo: They actually extended a deadline that has passed two years ago. The LBA writes that this new NfL extends the deadline due to the alleviations of the coming Part-ML. Obviously a legal basis to prescribe the SIDs never existed in the first place but they finally found an excuse to go public with the alleviation.
