My husband and I are seeking an investor friendly real estate agent that is knowledgeable about New Bedford, MA to help us purchase a 2-4 unit building with the intent of owner occupying one unit. 

I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a good mortgage broker in the Massachusetts South Coast area?

My husband and I are relocating to MA and I am looking for a mortgage broker in the South Coast region. Can anyone make recommendations or referrals?

Thank you to everyone that replied. I appreciate all the good advice.

I am relocating to New Bedford, Massachusetts and had a couple questions about multifamily units on Clark's Point near Hazelwood park which we would house hack. Specifically, is that a good location for rental units? I know there is only one bus line that runs down Brock but is that important? Additionally, does anyone know if insurance rates are significantly higher due to the location outside the hurricane barrier? Thanks for any feedback.

Thanks everyone for the responses. It has been very helpful.

I came a across a nice multi-family building with mixed size units in New Bedford, Massachusetts and it raised a question for me. It appears that the building has asbestos exterior siding;.what do investors think about this? I've heard that if it is left in place it is not an issue but that abatement is expensive. Massachusetts seems particularly stringent in this regard and a large landlord was recently fined $100,000 for multiple violations concerning abatement. I would appreciate any feedback as the whether such properties should be avoided. Thanks!
