What are the migration trends out of California and out of New York?

Are you comfortable owning in more tenant friendly states like New York, California, and Vermont, or do you want more landlord friendly states like most southern/red states?

I am looking into possibly purchasing a small apartment building (5-8 units) in the West New York, NJ area.

My wife and I recently relocated from New York City to Olney, MD. 

I live in NYC New York, so living comfortably here would require at least 12k a month (monthly expenses, have money to invest, and enjoy life).

Bancorp, Bank of New York Mellon Corp., State Street Corp., and Truist Financial Corp.

I’m in New York state and this is a single family rental home.

So as a realtor in New York, the government has banned cold-calls due to the pandemic. 

We live in New York so our ideal (probably cheaper) option would be somewhere in New Jersey or the tristate area that would bring in some rent and help us with the mortgage.
