Hello everyone, hope all is well! Completely a newbie in this world and I have been looking in different areas in Northern NJ and parts of NY to house hack as my first my property. 

I am looking to utilize an FHA loan and have landed interest in Binghamton area. Current rental lease which I share with my partner is set to expire at the end of this year and I would love to hear about experiences/challenges in this area.

@Account Closed to do low money down you will need to owner occupy, are you willing to move to Binghamton, NY?  Right now low money conventional in North Jersey is working out really well, it worked out great for me and my wife and many other house hackers in are market.   I love equity and cashflow,  NJ is a bit more upfront to invest but at the end of the day the returns can be huge if done right.
