First Time Home Buyer - Finally moving out of the sidelines

[Rehan Uddin]

Hey Everyone,

So, this is my first post in the BiggerPockets forum, and I want to start off by thanking you all for all of the insightful conversations in the forum. I have been looking buy my first home (Househack) for over a year and now I'm finally forced to pull the trigger because my job is requiring me to move, and I don't want to pay rent. So, I'm looking in the Worcester, MA area to buy a single family or multifamily home. Ideally, I'd love to do an FHA loan, but I know how tough it is with all of the inspections you have to pass to get that loan through. I can also afford to do a 10% conventional loan (for a single-family home) which is what I'll most likely do. I would love to speak with someone with some experience and mentor me throughout this process. Currently, I'm going at this with a friend who also does not have any experience and it's all a bit overwhelming. Also, it'd be great to speak with someone who lives in the MA area who can provide some insight into the Worchester area. Thank you all in advance and any conversation would be helpful.
