Looking to invest in the Binghamton area

[Account Closed]

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.
