My definitions of the classes are (someone else might have different opinion):Class A - higher property prices, low crime, highly rated schools, tenants and homeowner usually higher income (although if the owner bought years ago they could be lower income), streets are well kept, yards maintained, no run down cars parked in street. 

Westchester, although one of the hottest markets, has a ton of upside with opportunities for both cash-flow and equity. 2-4 family properties in Westchester are the 2nd most affordable in the NYC Metropolitan area (next to Suffolk County) making it easier to find cashflow opportunities when compared to the boroughs and other suburbs like Nassau.A client of ours in Westchester recently purchased a < $800K 2-family with a detached 3-car garage which brings in additional rental income - from a local business owner with commercial vehicles.
