It's a little late in the evening, so I'll address the points of your posts in general. I'll probably write more tomorrow.

I can feel and understand your frustration, but take your time, be patience and the right one will come. Let the people with deep pockets swoop in if they want. If you rush it and buy without a thorough prebuy/inspection, the next thing we'll hear from you is that your new-to-you airplane is a money pit. You certainly wouldn't want that.

As for hangars, yes, they're in short supply everywhere. Often, you have to be on a waiting list for a long time, unless you have money to buy/build your own, or luck out with an opening. If you manage to get a plane, it's not the end of the world to tie it down outside. A good cover will prevent quite a bit of interior damage. My plane spent over 20 years tied down outside and it didn't hurt the exterior much.

You don't HAVE to buy an airplane in order to proceed with getting your PPL. Most of us got our license and rented for quite a few years before buying a plane. Sure, it'd be nice to train in your own airplane and not "wasting" money on rents. But there's a plus side to renting: you don't have to worry about maintenance & repairs, and fixed costs (hangar, taxes, insurance, loan payments). At the end of the flight, toss the key to the FBO and drive home carefree. Not all that bad.
