Interduction, and looking to rent in maine.
Hello My name Is Billy. I'm a 38 year old married male. with two 40lb dogs. I have been on b/p's off and on over the last four years or so. I'm now back and a registered member again. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will respond even if not immediately.
When I came here originally quickly I found out, that I was in no position to build my wealth thru real estate. In regards to credit and cash I am in a much better place. Only took 3.5 years...YAY ME!!
How ever, I do have one more step I have to over come to start this advancement in my life. My wife and I currently live in Virginia. We are moving to Maine. Our plan is to Rent for 90-120 days while we scout the areas for our home to purchase. Rent payments are not an issue. We are having a tough time finding a rental that will allow our dogs. I have offered up a extra deposit for the dogs. And still nothing. I am begging at this point. What would be ideal is a small single family residence, maybe even a mobile home we could rent, with a small yard for the girls. We currently rake up behind them so that is not new to us. We are looking to be away from neighbors because they love to bark. And we do not want to disrupt any body. Providing the price and the location we would consider a rent to own. My job is transferable, I have already spoke with several banks and finally found one I like. He suggested ninety days of pay stubs in Maine, and i should be able to get approved for the home loan. Thank you for reading.
I do have one question, Jason Perry at camden bank, could not tell me with doing the application. I am hoping some one here can. My gross Is approx. 58-64K i do have debt that is about 9k. Which will be paid by December. Leaving zero on paper. Any idea even a rough estimate on what i might get approved to borrow?
