where do you start? When do you start? how long does it take??
We know that our goal is Sept to be out of here....when do we start and what do we start with??? We are so confused...
UPDATE: Talked to SIL last night and she gave some advice...said it took them a month to get into their new house from up here!! She has a friend that just closed in 3 weeks!! YAY for Georgia!!!

Re: buying a house out of state...What to do?
You should start now. It's almost May, so you have about 5 months to find something, make an offer, close...etc. I would start with contacting a local realtor and get the school reports etc. Schedule time to go and look. Have fun!
I'd start looking...but most states are much faster than NY are...b/c there are no lawyers...
there was less than 5 weeks from the open house to getting the keys for us...

We found it put a bid on it, had the seller accept the bid (he was the builder), went into contract (had him do some minor changes on the home), got int touch with our lawyers and mortage broker and closed within 2 weeks here in Florida!
Everything is so much easier out of LI!
Just find a good mortage broker and real estate broker and you will be perfect!

did you get your mortgage through your bank here in NY or in the new state you were moving to? We are members of a credit union and we hope to get our mortgage through them since their rates are GREAT!

We went through a Broker. Our mortage is actually through a Mortage Company in GA.
