Getting Started in Binghamton, NY

[Joseph Hurysz]

Hello!

I am a Binghamton University student graduating in May of 2020, who accepted a job to work at Lockheed Martin as an engineer following graduation. I am interested in purchasing buy-and-hold rental properties on the westside (student rentals) as a vehicle for financial freedom down the line.

I am looking to buy my first property sometime during the summer of 2020, and have been (unofficially) preapproved for $165,000 from the bank.

Are there any investors/realtors/property managers in the area that deal with student housing that I can reach out to for a crash course on investing in the area, and the essential basics of buy-and-hold investing for beginners. Willing to meet in person over a cup of coffee or something.

Thank you,

Joe
