Characteristics of a TransformedDistribution

Could someone please help me to plot a transformed distribution?
Assuming we have 2 independent random variables, x1 and x2, distributed
as Binomial[n,p],
We would like to plot the pdf of the distribution of the random variable
var=x1(1-x2)/x2(1-x1)
for various values of N (large) and p. This is a discrete distribution
with n2 possible values.
I have tried this numerous times, but always encounter either a syntax
error or a calculation that times out, even for small values of n.
I have defined the transformed distribution as follows.
or[n_, p_] :=
TransformedDistribution[(y1/(n - y1))/(y2/(n -
y2)), {y1 \[Distributed] BinomialDistribution[n, p],
y2 \[Distributed] BinomialDistribution[n, p]}]
but have been unsuccessful trying to plot it, or determine its PDF, CDF,
Mean, Variance etc.
Any suggestions appreciated.
