Long Island, NY - Rental Property Investment

[Dylan Hensley]

I live on Long Island where homes are expensive and the market is competitive. I feel like being physically present for my first investment is very important. I live close to a ferry that comes and goes from Bridgeport, Conneticut where homes arent as pricey as Long Island homes are. My question is this, Should I invest in my first rental property on the Island or should I find one in Conneticut that is just a ferry trip away?
