Thoughts on Newburgh, NY for first-time SFH buy and hold?

[Diana Isern]

Hello, I'm a first time investor trying to keep it simple with a SFH to buy and hold and rent out. Looking in a few areas in the surrounding-ish NYC area, ideally 2 hours max from where I live in Queens. Been thinking of Allentown, PA, Jersey City, NJ and Newburgh, NY. I'm curious about what people think about Newburgh, it was suggested to me by a friend who is an investor. Any thoughts or advice. Thanks!
