Owe back property taxes in New York County? Tony's title company pays them off at closing — out of the cash proceeds. You don't bring a check. The New York tax-foreclosure clock stops the day Tony closes.
Falling behind on property taxes happens to good people during hard years. Medical bills. Job loss. A spouse passing. Then the letters from the county pile up and the next tax bill comes before the last one is paid. You're not stuck. Tony has bought hundreds of Morningside Heights-area properties with back taxes, and most sellers walk away with cash on top of the payoff.
Behind on Morningside Heights, New York property taxes? Tony's offer pays them off at closing. The New York County tax collector gets paid, you walk away with whatever's left, and the tax-foreclosure clock stops the same day. Standard close: 7 to 14 days.
The kind of two family property Tony has bought in Morningside Heights.
New York County (Manhattan) is co-op and condo dominant. Tony buys uptown brownstones (Harlem, Washington Heights, Inwood) and inherited co-op/condo apartments throughout the borough.
Manhattan co-op maintenance and condo common charges are part of monthly carrying costs; tax abatements (J-51, 421-a) on certain buildings affect calculations.

Many Morningside Heights sellers behind on taxes don't realize they likely have equity above the back-tax balance. A house worth $300K with $25K in back taxes still has $275K of equity (minus any mortgage). Tony's offer captures that for you. Letting it go to tax-lien sale typically zeroes that out.
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 NY 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 NYmarket 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.

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 Morningside Heights property transfers free and clear.
Same path. Tony's title company pays municipal water/sewer liens at closing alongside the back taxes. All in one transaction.
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.
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.
Tony has bought properties mid-proceeding. Until the lien actually sells at auction, the seller can still sell the house. Move fast.
