Watch the communication - even as a seasoned developer, my first remote position lacked good communication and I ended up having to be the driver all the time, which was a weird situation for me. There's alot of "ambient communication" that you get in an office building or cube farm that you won't get as a remote dev... So be prepared. Other than that, do it. It's been an amazing experience (besides the communication issue) and I certainly will be doing (or atleast trying to do) remote work from here on out. :)
