Investors & rentals

Advice from a REALTOR® who's also a landlord.

I own and manage rental property in New Jersey myself. When we look at a deal, I'm thinking about the same things you are: rent, expenses, tenants and what the property is worth in ten years.

What I look at

Before you buy an investment property

Every deal is different, but these are the questions I run through with every investor client.

Does the rent cover the costs?
Mortgage, New Jersey property taxes, insurance, maintenance and vacancy, compared against realistic rent for that street.
What will the town require?
Many New Jersey towns have rental registration, inspections or certificates of occupancy for each new tenant. I check the rules before you commit.
What's the exit plan?
Whether you hold for decades, refinance or sell later, we'll pick a property that fits the plan.
