Taunton Landlord/Property Manager
Hello all,
I would love to reach out to local landlords or property managers in the Taunton area and grab a drink or two and talk about some things. I am trying to make some contacts in this area, and ask some general questions about Taunton or the surrounding towns. I am mostly interested in discussing the types of residents in Taunton and how you view the market. If you are from the area and are willing to talk, please reach out. I would love to meet you.
Your friend,
Nicholas Mulligan

@Nick Mulligan I originally planned to do FHA but the property I bought was disqualified from the FHA loan because of the proximity of a gas station (FHA requires a certain distance from a gas station to qualify, think it has to be more than 300ft ). My agent wasn't aware of that rule for FHA and neither was I. Luckily I was still able to do a first time home owner buyer program, I believe it was called Home Possible, which I put 5% down. Definitely get pre approved before you start looking to buy as you will know what your limitations are, and definitely make a budget based on all your income and expenses now and what they would look like with a mortgage, water bill, utilities to see what works best for you.
