NYC Residents- Which areas outside NYC have you seen the most success for rentals?

[Jerry Nogueras]

I'm a long time lurker finally getting ready to start making a move and getting that first rental property. 

Being a NYC resident (originally from Long Island), the price of entry in the area is on the higher end, so I've been considering some options in the NY Capitol region, as well as NJ and CT. 

I'm curious, to investors in NYC, where have you been able to find the most success? Has it been in surrounding areas, OOS investing, or have you found deals in NYC? 

Thanks BP!
