How are back property taxes paid when I sell to Tony?
The title company pays them at closing out of the sale proceeds. You don't bring a check. The county gets paid, the lien is released, and the Perth Amboy property transfers free and clear.

How Behind on Property Taxes Works in Perth Amboy
Here's how Tony resolves Middlesex County back-tax situations. The title company pulls the tax-payoff statement from the Middlesex County county. At closing, Tony's wire goes to the title company, and the title company sends the back-taxes amount directly to the county/town. Anything above the back taxes (and any mortgage payoff if there is one) goes to you.
Perth Amboy Neighborhoods
Perth Amboy is a 1890s-1930s port city: frame two- and three-families with vinyl or asphalt siding on narrow lots off Smith Street and State Street, brick row houses and small apartment buildings downtown, 1900s single-families and Victorians on the bluff above Raritan Bay, and the newer Harbortown townhouses on the old industrial waterfront. A lot of the multi-family stock is tenant-occupied, some of it holds more units than the CO shows, and the low blocks near the bay and the Arthur Kill flooded in Sandy. Tony buys the multi-families, the row houses, and the bluff houses.

Selling a House in Perth Amboy: What Tony Already Knows
Perth Amboy owners call Tony holding buildings that the family has owned for decades and nobody wants to run anymore. A three-family off Smith Street with two paying tenants, a third on a handshake, and a code-enforcement letter about the basement. A landlord finished with the lead-safe inspection cycle on a pre-1978 building and a Certificate of Continued Occupancy that fails on the wiring. A waterfront house that took water in Sandy and is still not fully repaired. Tax-sale certificates sold on houses whose owners moved away. Heirs in Florida and Puerto Rico splitting a house full of belongings. A listing means showings around tenants and a lender who wants the violations cleared first. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.

What a Perth Amboy closing actually involves
Perth Amboy requires a Certificate of Continued Occupancy inspection before a resale, plus the fire department's smoke, carbon monoxide, and fire extinguisher certificate — Tony's side schedules both and buys with whatever the inspector finds. The seller pays the NJ Realty Transfer Fee (about 1% on most sales, less for senior and disabled owners on a primary residence). Leases and deposits transfer to Tony; tax-sale certificates and water liens are paid from proceeds at closing. The waterfront blocks sit in a FEMA flood zone, which matters to lenders and not to Tony, because there is no lender.
How a Cash Offer on a Perth Amboy House Is Actually Built
Every cash buyer, Tony included, starts from the same three numbers: what the house would sell for fully renovated, what it costs to get it there, and how long that takes. The offer is that finished value minus the repairs, minus the buyer's resale costs and margin. In practice that lands most cash offers somewhere around 70–85% of the renovated value, less repairs. The honest comparison is not against a renovated house's list price — it is against what you would actually net from a NJ listing after commission, repairs, and months of carrying costs.
| Line item | List with an agent | Sell to Tony |
|---|---|---|
| What the house would sell for fully renovated | $400,000 | $400,000 |
| Repairs a retail buyer's lender will demand | − $45,000 | Tony's problem |
| Agent commission (5–6%) | − $20,000 to $24,000 | $0 |
| Inspection credits, seller closing costs, concessions | − $8,000 to $12,000 | $0 |
| Taxes, insurance, mortgage, utilities while you wait (3–6 months) | − $9,000 to $15,000 | $0 |
| Time to cash in hand | 4 to 7 months | 7 to 14 days |
| What you actually walk away with | ≈ $305,000 to $318,000 | Tony's number, in full, on your date |
Whether Tony's number beats that listing net depends on the house. On a move-in-ready home in a hot NJmarket it usually will not, and Tony will tell you to list. On a house that needs work, has tenants, sits in an estate, or carries violations — the houses retail buyers cannot finance — it is often close, and the seven-day timeline is the difference. Call 1-908-768-4759, get the number, and compare it yourself.

Questions From Perth Amboy Sellers
What if I owe water/sewer arrears too?
Same path. Tony's title company pays municipal water/sewer liens at closing alongside the back taxes. All in one transaction.
Can Tony close before the Perth Amboy tax-lien sale?
In most cases, yes. As long as the lien sale isn't in the next 5-7 days, Tony's standard close fits inside the window.
Will I get any cash if the Perth Amboy house has back taxes and a mortgage?
Depends on equity. Tony's offer pays mortgage, then back taxes, then liens. Anything left is yours. On most NJ/NY properties with even 10% equity, sellers walk away with thousands.
What if the county already started tax-lien proceedings?
Tony has bought properties mid-proceeding. Until the lien actually sells at auction, the seller can still sell the house. Move fast.
Will Tony buy my Perth Amboy multi-family with tenants still in it?
Yes, with every tenant in place. Their leases — written or handshake — transfer to Tony at closing and he takes over as landlord, including a tenant who is behind. You don't serve notices or wait for a vacancy. Give him the unit count and what each pays and he'll quote one number for the building.
My Perth Amboy house flooded in Sandy and was never fully fixed. Does Tony still buy it?
Yes. Unfinished storm repairs and a flood-zone address are lender problems — banks want elevation certificates, insurance quotes, and the work done first. Tony pays cash, buys the house as it stands, and finishes the work himself after closing. He prices it as-is and the flood risk becomes his.
My Perth Amboy building won't pass the CCO inspection. Can Tony still close?
Yes. A failed Certificate of Continued Occupancy stalls bank-financed buyers because the lender wants the corrections done before closing. Tony pays cash, buys as-is, and handles the CCO items after the sale. His number already reflects that work — nothing comes out of your pocket.
Does Tony buy in every part of Perth Amboy — downtown, the waterfront, Harbortown, the bluff?
Yes. Tony buys anywhere in 08861: multi-families off Smith Street and State Street, row houses downtown, Victorians on the bluff above Raritan Bay, Harbortown townhouses, and the flood-prone blocks near the water. If it's inside the city, he'll give you a number on the phone.
