My fiance and I have long term relocation plans to move to Vermont and have a small hobby farm. We currently live in a completely different part of the country and realize that is likely not happening until I'm done medical training, but we want to start on things as early as possible.
We had the idea recently of buying some land and building a small seasonal cottage on it so that he could stay and build up the land for a couple months in the summer and we can vacation there each year until we can build a larger permanent home once I'm done. The process of building soil and learning your land can take years, so we'd hate to be essentially 10 years behind if we can help it. We've also both done small building construction before so this is a pretty reasonable project in terms of skill and logistics.
I realize that merely owning land and a small cottage in a state doesn't make me a resident, but would ties like this and long-term plans to become a resident weigh much in terms of applying to UVM for example? Tia!
