Just how many mangers were in Bethlehem. Where there crowds gathered to see this birth and guide the shepherds to Jesus. Why would there be crowds to help the shepherds find Jesus, the angels told them of the birth or they would not have known it took place that night. If Joseph owned a house in Bethlehem wouldn't Jesus be born in a bed with Mary. Here are some problems you need to overcome to prove Joseph owned a home there, or even to suppose he owned a home there.
Simple.
The manger and the shepherds are part of Luke's story, not Matthew's.
The two stories don't sync. That's my point.
