I'm looking for some great areas to invest in within a 3 hour radius from New York. Frankly it's too expensive over here and I'm itching to get in.
How's Pennsylvania or Connecticut?
Any advise is much appreciated

Hello BP!
Here's a quick question for you:
If a city you were planning on investing in showed a decline in population growth since 2010 would you still invest in it?
Thank you BP!
Jorge
