My budget is preferably less than 140k.

All things being close to equal I prefer a place closer to me in the western burbs (I live in La Grange).Thanks

When tenants do disconnect them it is surprisingly easy to catch them as many take the entire detector down and never put it back while others remove the battery and unplug the detector.Our insurance company frowns on disabled smoke detectors  - not sure if they would use a disconnected detector to deny/reduce a claim, but I prefer not to test them.We are experimenting with a new detector which we can "see" with our building monitoring system.  

I prefer investing in NJ.

Also looking for farms in distress that may need some help to get back on their feet or prefer to sell.
