It’s a 6 figure investment. Here is what I would do
1) find the great realtor, come down for a few days, see lots of houses in various locations, to hone in on what you want, vs what you think you want now. Realtor will help you. It’s worth the few thousand dollars for this vacation
2) have the realtor search new listings, until you find 1/2/3 places you think you like
3) come back down, visit those last few houses
4) close the deal
You’re spending $5000 for a few trips, to save a huge head ache on a $400,000 purchase.
