Tony buys tenant-occupied rentals in Union County. The tenant doesn't have to leave before closing. No 30-day notice. No eviction. Tony takes the property as-is, with the tenant in place, and works it out with them after.
Being a landlord wears people down. The late-rent texts. The midnight repair calls. The eviction worries. The tenant who hasn't paid in three months and you can't get out. The repairs piling up faster than the rent comes in. You're not stuck. Tony has bought hundreds of tenant-occupied rentals in NJ and NY — including the kind nobody else would touch.

How Sell My Rental Property Works in Elizabeth
What Elizabeth landlords save by selling a tenant-occupied rental to Tony: the eviction filing fees ($1,500-$5,000), the 6-12 months an eviction takes in NJ/NY, the lost rent during that time, the lawyer fees, the property damage tenants do when they're being evicted, the make-ready costs after they leave, and the months of vacancy looking for the next tenant. Tony absorbs all of it.
Elizabeth Neighborhoods
Elizabeth has a mix of row houses, multi-families, and detached homes. Tony buys throughout the city, regardless of whether tenants are still in the building. By section: 1890s-1920s brick and frame row houses and two-families in Elizabethport, Peterstown, and Frog Hollow; three-story frame multi-families with vinyl siding across the south end and Bayway; 1920s brick apartment walk-ups off Elizabeth Avenue and Broad Street; and 1920s-50s colonials, capes, and larger single-families in Elmora, Westminster, and North Elizabeth near the Newark line.

Selling a House in Elizabeth: What Tony Already Knows
Elizabeth owners call Tony holding buildings that have turned into paperwork. A Peterstown two-family inherited from a grandmother, with a rent-controlled tenant and a code-enforcement file. A Bayway landlord finished with the lead-safe inspection cycle on a pre-1978 building, the rent leveling board, and a Certificate of Continued Occupancy that fails on the electric. An Elizabethport house near the port that flooded in Sandy. A tax-sale certificate sold on a house whose owner moved away and stopped opening mail. Heirs in three states splitting an Elmora colonial full of belongings. A listing means showings around tenants and a lender who wants the CCO items and violations cleared first. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.

- Getting around Elizabeth

What a Elizabeth closing actually involves
Elizabeth requires a Certificate of Continued Occupancy inspection before a resale, along with the fire department's smoke, carbon monoxide, and fire extinguisher certificate — Tony's side schedules both and buys with whatever the inspector writes up. The seller pays the NJ Realty Transfer Fee (about 1% on most sales, less for senior and disabled owners on a primary residence). Leases, rent-control registrations, and deposits transfer to Tony; tax-sale certificates and water liens are paid from proceeds at closing. Elizabethport and the blocks near the Arthur Kill sit in flood zones, which only a lender cares about, and there is no lender.
How a Cash Offer on a Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth Sellers
What if my Elizabeth tenant hasn't paid rent in months?
Tony buys it anyway. Non-paying tenants, partial-paying tenants, tenants in eviction proceedings — none of it kills the deal. The unpaid rent is the previous landlord's loss, not the deal's.
Do I have to give my Elizabeth tenant 30 days notice before selling?
No. The lease and tenant transfer with the property at closing. Tony becomes the new landlord. The tenant doesn't need notice from you.
What about Section 8 / housing voucher tenants in my Elizabeth property?
Tony buys Section 8 properties. The voucher and HUD contract transfer with the property. Tony's team handles the HUD paperwork after closing.
What if my Elizabeth tenant has a long-term lease?
Doesn't matter. Tony takes the lease as part of the property. By NJ and NY law the lease binds the new owner — but that's Tony's problem, not yours.
Will Tony buy my Elizabeth multi-family with rent-controlled tenants still in it?
Yes, with every tenant in place. Elizabeth's rent control follows the building, and Tony steps in as landlord at closing under the same leases and regulated rents. No buyouts, no notices, no waiting for an empty unit. Tell him the unit count and what each actually pays and he'll quote one number for the building.
Does Tony buy in every part of Elizabeth — Elizabethport, Bayway, Elmora, Peterstown, North Elizabeth?
Yes. Tony buys across every Elizabeth ZIP code — 07201, 07202, 07206, and 07208 — from Elizabethport row houses to Bayway and Frog Hollow multi-families, Peterstown two-families, Elmora and Westminster colonials, and North Elizabeth houses by the Newark line. If it's inside the city, he'll give you a number on the phone.
My Elizabeth house won't pass the CCO inspection. Can I still sell it fast?
Yes. Elizabeth's Certificate of Continued Occupancy is the reason many bank-financed sales stall — the lender wants the corrections done before closing. Tony pays cash, buys the house as-is, and handles the CCO work after the sale. His number already reflects that, so nothing comes out of your pocket.
There's a tax-sale certificate on my Elizabeth property and I got a foreclosure notice. Can Tony still buy it?
Usually yes, as long as a final judgment hasn't been entered. Tony's title company gets the redemption figure from the certificate holder's attorney, pays it from your proceeds at closing, and the foreclosure is dismissed. Call the day you get the notice — once judgment is entered the house is gone.
