There should be a 210 type club with online resources, I'm sure the folks there would know instructors.
210 has some complexities, so systems study would be good. Also if you don't have recip experience, you probably want at least 20 hours dual with lots of instrument, pattern, and single engine work. Unless the panel is updated, steam gauges will take some adjustment.
GA AMEL do not have to be certified to climb or hold altitude on one engine. My solution to that was to always fly light so I could climb out on one. I would incur extra fuel stops if needed. I was also mentally prepared to idle the good engine if Vmc was evident, and land off airport. I'm not recommending that, just telling you what I would do.

Im sure you’ve researched the costs and don’t need anyone telling you to rent. Though you can probably skip all the multiengine instruction...
I would find a CFI you know has time in a 210 to go fly your actual plane with you. One option is to fly the CFI out to pick it up, and continue instruction at your home airport thereafter (you could ride along for ferry as well). You can negotiate with insurance that you will have a cfi with you until you have X hours in it, and negotiate a rate based on that. Luckily most everything is negotiable.
