I'm super happy for you TGE.

You'll love your home deeply and the work will never end, just like having a child.

You are right that it will probably be the biggest thing you will ever buy. It surely will be the biggest dollar commitment you'll make. That means there is a lot of $$$ involved and that means the road is lined with every kind of parasite and opportunist that the establishment and commerce has to offer. Get as much information as you can then just use common sense.
