Multi Family investing in Tri-State area

[Klarens Haxhi]

Hi everyone,

I’m a new investor and I’m interested in investing in multi family homes in the tri-state area. I live in Queens New York and I’ve done some research on Bridgeport CT. The neighborhoods aren’t that great and homes range from 250k for a 2 family up to 350k for a 3-4 family. 
I wanted some guidance from you guys on what particular factors to consider before purchasing. I am a big fan of bigger pockets and I absolutely love their podcasts on Real Estate investing. 
I would really appreciate some advice and also suggestions of up and coming locations where investing would generate a positive cash flow. Thank you in advance!!

Best,

Klarens
