Is there a city that's better than both of these in Ohio?

We are in upstate New York.

Lancaster city limits short term rentals to only certain zones of the city so definitely look at the city website for that information.

Purchase price: $144,900 Cash invested: $13,000 This is a charming 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Bossier City, LA.

Also what does the city say is the assessed value of the property on your taxes (it will be different than the appraised value, but should give you an idea).

I mainly want to ask if these assumptions are reasonable and if there's anything I haven't considered:(1) multifamily units in NJ close to New York City, ~$1,000,000, 20% down payment, (2) Using the following assumptions: 4% appreciation rate, 6.5% interest rate and 5.0% refinance after 5 years, $10,000 yearly maintenance fee(3) ~$6,000 monthly rental and assume 3% increase yearly with 5% vacancy rate(4) Based on the above, the calculated IRR if selling at the 10th year is ~19% (considering tax benefits) and ~17% (without tax benefits).

Hi folks, As the topic states I'm looking to learn everything I can about New York City nd its real-estate market.

Is this strategy something I could deploy in a high entry area like New York/Long Island? 

A and B neighborhoods typically don’t produce much cash flow and are more of an appreciation play—something the city has been seeing quite a bit of over the past decade.

While I didn't like feeling I was in Time Square on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, the New York side felt completely dead.
