wh with blackhole effect behind it
(home)
The CEO of my current corporation used http://wormholesales.com and found the wormhole we were looking for within hours. By using a broker we bought our pretty looking new home and began the move in process. Now before I continue we need to touch base on the issue of hauling. It sucks. Terribly. Moving all your equipment, fuel, industry mats, blueprints, ships, tractor units, and the list goes on, is very time consuming. What I recommend you invest into is a t2 hauler. I personally use the Impel and it can cut moving time in a fourth. You also will get the option to fly cloaky blockade runner which is nothing to underestimate in wspace either. In fact both ships serves a useful purpose for moving into a wormhole.

Buying a wormhole is just the really lazy way to acquire a jcoded system. You can scout them out on your own by daytrippin' through links. Get in a scanner (Covops recommended) and start jumping through wormholes. Start at one end of hisec and then find another exit four, ten, or even twenty wh jumps later. You can find more about daytrips here.
Kudos to the author of that article. I found it well written and full of good information. The guide above can be applied to beginner players interested in wspace. I used a vengeance daytrippin' from hisec through c2's for a long time before I learned more about worm mechanics. The author of that article also wrote another guide on actually living in wspace. Again, a good read for anyone interested in moving into a wormhole.

Once you find a wormhole that you seem to like use https://eveeye.com and enter the jcode (solar system name). Check for environmental effects and plan around it. Above all else, make sure the system is empty. Unless you know what you're doing and plan on fighting soon do not move into a preoccupied system.
You can check if PoS towers are online or not by adding Force Field to your overview (under celestial). Online tower shields will show up on DSCAN and will make scouting easier. Dead sticks are okay, you can always shoot them down if you have the time later on.

After finding the blackhole system to our liking I loaded up a medium tower in a cloaky prorator hauler, stuffed the rest of free cargo space with fuel and headed out through lowsec to our known home entrance. We had scouted the wormhole with scans alts and had at least three already placed in the system just in case and all was looking clear. After a thankfully uneventful trip through lowsec and our static c1 I made into our new home in one piece. The next steps came as follows. Found a moon, anchored pos, waited 15min (7min for small towers, 15min for med, 30 for large). Once the tower's online you put the remaining fuel in and wait for the shields to pop on. This is where the cloaky hauler is nice to have. Simply cloak up on grid while you're waiting for timers. Once the force field was up we started in on the hours of hauling, but we had a new home.

Currently we are setup with a large amount of fuel, and have our core ships in. We have t3s, assault frigs, covop scanners, stealth bombers, gas harvesters, and more. However we are far from done hauling. We have a large tower still to anchor and a lot more ships to move in, but that's down the road. Thanks for the read of the first post and more to come in the near future. Cheers.
