Newbie Starting Out - Warwick, NY

[Mary Ho]

Hello, I am starting out my real estate journey and currently looking in the Warwick, NY area (approx 1 hour drive from where I live in NYC). Currently, I have no experience as a homeowner (I rent my apt in NYC) or a landlord. Does anyone have experience with long term rentals in the area? I think the area could support long term or short term rentals, which is appealing to me. I am interested in starting out with long term rentals since I am new to real estate investing and don't want to bite off more than I can chew with a short term rental. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
