The dream is fluid and open to possibility! A two-cabin lot (half investment/half-home) bought together with TJ, Michelle, and Milo; or a living space for Milo (since the Universe is calling it Time) with a rentable unit to offset the expense.

Regardless, the process is more or less the same:

• Get a pre-approval letter.
• Look for houses online.
• View houses in person.
• Charm agents/owners when possible.
• Write an offer.
• Open escrow.
• Send earnest money deposit.
• Do inspections.
• Send the remaining down payment.
• Sign lots of documents with a Notary.
• Close escrow. 
• Get Keys!
  
  

If we find a seller that is open to carrying a loan (seller financing/carryback/lease option etc.) we will need to provide them with a credit report and proof of funds for the down payment.
