Rentals in Albany, is it a good Idea?

[Rose Laurent]

Hi,

that will be my first time buying a house, and I would like to get one and rent it. However, I am living in Long Island. I don't know what type of loan to get. And I don't know if investing in Albany is a good Idea. I was leaning toward student rental. Please help me, I am completely lost. 

Thank you :)
