Should I invest locally or outside my state?

[Danny Lee]

Hello BP happy new years to all,

I currently live in NY, born and raised. Looking to invest in my first property. I been looking into Florida and Connecticut to be exact. They are both in my price range which is why im considering those areas. Im also opened to hearing some other areas that are upcoming. Id greatly appreciate some advice on which route an experienced REI would take. Thanks for your time =]

@Danny Lee I would agree with @David Stumpf, if you can invest locally at first, that is ideal. From the sounds of it though, your market might be a little pricy compared to others. If you do decide to invest out of state, I would suggest considering Columbus, OH.
