Morris County has some good potential for properties, we put in a few offer throughout Morris County before we randomly found our current property. 

I mean if we are just picking random companies out of thin air....

Reality:  There are others who are there and/or have people 'there', and others who have local knowledge and cash in their pockets.That sort of image is safe, you need to do nothing, it's a dream for now and will remain a good dream as long as you do not do anything.Just for you:Look at something close and ugly, e.g., 236 Alice Dr, Wilits, CA (I found this as I am writing to you here)https://www.google.com/maps/@39.38686,-123.3430735...This in your face, likely 'an ugly situation' all around, but it is there, and you will learn.When I was 20 years old a guy told me, "Look at 100 properties and make no offers until, and then after you have reached 100 make an offer on 101, and on everything you see"To me this suggested learning deeply about an area.Did I write 'harsh words? 

I wouldn't call 810k an anomaly....There are weird neighborhoods where you have 10 typical 50s style homes in a row which are randomly eclipsed by some 6 bedroom brand new house. 

I don't see much downside to it other than the fact that the property tends to be noisier and you will have to deal with problems at random hours of the day which might affect your normal living situation.This can of course be minimalized by screening your tenants properly and choosing who will share a property with you.The upside is that you will live for much cheaper than paying rent or paying a mortgage by yourself.

On a PC there is an image button right above where you reply.

I was at a rental property that i'm managing and there was a random guy hanging out on the docks at the property which were closed/blocked off. 

A house in (random B class neighborhood) the midwest/south costs 100k and rents for 1200.00 a monthA house in (random B class neighborhood) NYC  costs 800k and rents for 2500-4000 a month.Why on earth would anyone wanna buy in NY???

I ended up here randomly.

Can you imagine living in a home that you own and having random people appearing in your private home?
