This is encouraging to hear. I’m about 4 months out for a move to the hill country just west of Austin. Same situation, working remotely, homeschooling. Any advice on what to look out for? I’d still be grid connected, so I wouldn’t be relying on a femto or anything like that.

Some advice would be to start your day earlier so you can end it earlier. I'm usually done with work by 3pm and them I'm spending time with the kids, doing stuff outdoors and being disconnected. Our team is spread across the country so I typically work an east coast schedule.

Another big thing for me is having a separate place for an office, so I can leave the house and go somewhere that is dedicated to work. For that, I have a 400sq ft office about 20 yards from the main house.

We also have a separate space for homeschooling, that's a big help for my Wife and the kids.

If you want advice on remote living and property type stuff, shoot me an email (in my profile).

A femotcell would still need an internet connection from some ISP, correct?

Would you mind sharing what kind of job you're doing that's enabling you to do this? What would it take someone let's say with 0 background in what you do to get to the point of doing this?
