Geometric MOM estimator

Let Y1,Y2,…,YnY_1,Y_2,…,Y_n be i.i.d. discrete random variables from a population with probability mass function P(Y=y;θ)={θ(1−θ)yif y∈N∪{0}, 0otherwise,\mathbb{P}(Y=y;\theta)=\begin{cases}\theta(1-\theta)^y& \text{if }y\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\},\ 0& \text{otherwise,}\end{cases} where 0<θ≤10<\theta\le 1 is an unknown parameter. Assume the convention 00=10^0=1. If θ^\hat\theta is the method of moments estimator of θ\theta, then which of the following statements is/are correct?
