I would echo that. Ultimately most people should just take a few trips on scouting missions to see if it ‘feels right’ first. But options should be sought beforehand, not when you’re in a panic or rush.

You will also need to collect a bunch of paperwork and get things apostilled and boring jazz. Those documents can expire in 6 months, so you should probably only go ahead with that if you’re convinced it’s time and a place you know.

I skipped that step for the simple fact that I did a bunch more PoW than the average stacker. Sometimes you just know.
