One thing though, if you don't have a multi rating and your PIC is a CFI, you can probably get a multi rating on the first flight. Multi engine private only requires a checkout with a rated CFI. If you want multi commercial, you're in for some big money. The checkout it nothing special if you already have high-performance and complex endorsements. Just do everything twice. The only new skill he will teach you is feathering. It's nothing special, just like in any high performance you pull the prop RPM, only it will have a barrier break, where you twist it 1/2 turn and pull it all the way to completely coarse out the prop so as to make it perpindicular to the wing. You just do that to prevent windmilling, where you are catching drag on the dead engine that causes a yaw instability. My only real dead engine was in a Twin Commander, so outside of 1 experience and the training received beforehand, I don't have anything else useful to tell you. Multi time + CFI as PIC = multi rating for you. Go Kamak!
