Im looking at Jersey right now, and from what i gather i have yet to understand why people would want to pay so much to live in such an expensive, commie dump. The rents are insane, the housing prices are double everywhere else because of property tax alone (the property tax is its own mortgage payment), you get treated like crap for holding any non liberal values, and the people here just absolutely suck, and let's not forget the cripllingly high income tax, sales tax, insurance is more expensive, illegal immigrants. I just came back from the south US area, and I'm about ready to nope out again ina. flash, if it wasn't for my parents

Yup, I compared a house in Montana to NJ. In Montana, a house of the same value has a whopping 2500/yr in taxes. The same comparable house in Jersey has over 10,000/yr in taxes. When accounting for services rendered, your house in Jersey has 5 times more taxes, for a quarter or less of the actual services rendered. Everything in the Northeast is just waste, more waste, and some more waste on top of that

Yep. I can't wait to be done with this shithole state.

My one friend was pushing me to buy a house here, and I simply cant justify any good reason to do so. I already have other properties, which have structures, and their tax base is much lower, so why bother getting a house which has a mortgage value over all my property mortgages combined?

Agreed. I made plenty of money on the first two and am looking at another good chunk of cash on this last one. There's no way it's worth keeping it longer than necessary.
