A couple of follow-ups so I can better understand.

I've had a couple of bad actors, but all in all I've had good experiences and continue to provide this type of housing.   

I know there are successful investors there.I have a couple of great realtor/investors that work that market hard if you need great boots on the ground. 

Couple of things I would add as I am an investor and also a licensed GC(i.e. builder)  there in the area. 1) That property might have a zillow estimate of 1.9 million but its only 4,000 sq ft. 

A couple of days ago, both my realtor and I called her number to follow up and the lady says the number does not belong to my tenant i.e. she's a diff person.

I've been investing there for a couple of years.

., great questions and there a couple of ways to handle this in New Jersey, depending on the situation.1.

And while I've only been investing out there for the last couple of years, I have yet to hear of a story where people were killed because they got caught in a cabin that went up in smoke. 

Hey Asma, Section 8 investing in Cleveland, OH is a great strategy, I have a couple of investors that buy a property a month in Cleveland and Lorrain County.

I would take a couple days and go down there (preferably with a friend...rent a U-Haul truck and go get furniture from thrift stores, antiques stores, and even buy some new stuff.
