House Hunting part 1

It is official that we are moving. Now for the fun part: house hunting! I have found one that I like. It is cute, cheap, and good sized. It is also a complete PITA to house hunt from 26 hours away. How am I supposed to get a feel for the house when I cannot walk through it. I know it is early because we are not moving until June but I want this house. I want to get moving on the loan process. I wish we could move now instead of having to wait until the taxes come back and Jay gets work lined up. If only we were independently wealthy.
