Because of the poor quality of life in East Orange, do you think investing in a property there is wrong

I would like to know what the police department are doing about improving the quality of life for the East Orange population, Since the crime rate and property crime is high on that part of NJ. Are there any effort being made to bring the crime rate down?

Can't speak for the Police Department, but as far as investing? It's all relative, you will pay less for a property in that area and when you go to sell it you will get less.(relatively speaking) As far as the actual investment goes, there a lot of programs out there (Section 8, County Assistance) etc. that guarantee rent so it may not be a bad idea for investment. Like anyting else..just go over the numbers, if it makes sense, then do it.

Is your interest in investing as a homeowner and being an owner occupant, or is your interest in being a landlord? That question assumes a residential interest over commerical. Or, is your interest in commerical builidngs?
