Selling a house in Elizabeth: what's specific to the city
Elizabeth is dense, old, rented and enforced. That's why a cash sale works here.
Multifamily everywhere. Frame and brick two- to four-families from the 1890s through 1930s fill Elmora, Peterstown, the Port, Frog Hollow and Bayway. Most have tenants, many have a unit that was never permitted, nearly all have systems at end of life.
Enforcement. Elizabeth inspects before sale, registers rentals and issues violations for conversions and fire safety. Taxes and water go to lien sale. We buy with violations open and liens outstanding.
Rent control applies. It affects the offer, not the sale.
The Elizabeth River floods. The low streets along the river through the middle of the city have flood history. We buy flood-zone houses as-is.
