Where in New York for a first deal?

Originally from Long Island and currently living in Astoria, Queens and am looking to purchase my first rental property. I'm thinking a single unit or affordable duplex, however, I am not sure what part of NY to look. NYC I think is out of the question due to high cost of entry so I'm debating Long Island or Upstate NY. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I've purchased from foreclosure auctions in Queens before, and the margins arent that wide. In NYC, you're banking on a lot of appreciation. However, in 3 families buildings in some parts of Queens, I can find 6-7% returns. Let me know if you need any help.
