Whether it's tips on promising neighborhoods, market trends, or considerations for property management, your input would be incredibly valuable to me.If you're a local real estate agent familiar with the Binghamton area or a fellow investor with insights to share, I would be immensely grateful for your guidance.

I am currently waiting to hear from my real estate agent but I think a new construction home around 1400 - 1600 sq ft should sell somewhere between 300 and 350k, there was a recent comp that was 1600 sq ft that sold for 335k.I am still working on figuring out costs to build the house but I think/ am hoping for somewhere around 235-260k. 

If the seller's insurance paid for a professional decomp company to clean up the aftermath then you should be okay.
