You're way ahead of me on everything, I'm just getting going.  

So, plan ahead and go see your area of choice before you decide to make your decision.

It's going to take time and don't rush into it because there will always be more opportunities,  you just have to find them.  

I'm not to sure about not speaking with the husband, dark storm ahead.

If I am very interested in a property should I just go ahead and enter my pre-auction bid?

@Ian IanI got a really good deal on my third house I purchased and was rushed by the seller to close. 

If you understand this ahead of time then you see the problem i'm talking about.
