Thinking About Buying an Investment Property This Year? Start With Due Diligence.
Investors are flooding into Hudson County, Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, Passaic, and Bergen, searching for multi-family and mixed-use deals.
But here’s the truth:
The profit is made in your due diligence — not at closing.
At Bruno Law Group, we help investors avoid expensive surprises by reviewing every legal and financial angle before you make an offer.
The Legal Due Diligence Checklist Every NJ Investor Needs
1. Review All Existing Leases and Tenant Rights
You inherit:
- Rent control restrictions
- Security deposits
- Renewal rights
- Tenant disputes
We ensure all documents comply with NJ landlord-tenant law and local ordinances.
2. Analyze Zoning, Redevelopment Plans & Land Use Restrictions
In cities like Jersey City and Hoboken, zoning rules can make or break a deal.
We review:
- Permitted uses
- Parking requirements
- Redevelopment incentives
- Density limits
Our goal is to confirm your investment strategy is legally allowed.
3. Check for Building Violations and Municipal Issues
Many multi-family deals hide:
- Open permits
- Code violations
- Fire safety issues
We pull municipal reports and work with local agencies to uncover hidden liabilities.
4. Conduct Title Review for Multi-Family Complications
Commercial and multi-family titles often show:
- Easements
- Shared driveways
- Old mortgages
- Unreleased liens
Our title review team ensures the property transfers free and clear.
Don’t Make an Investment Offer Blindly
Before you submit an LOI or PSA, let us legally vet the property.
Your future cash flow depends on it.
