Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in New Brunswick, NJ

New Brunswick, nicknamed the Healthcare City, pairs Rutgers University's student demand with a downtown of new high-rise towers near the train station and older residential neighborhoods such as the Fifth Ward, Feaster Park and Raritan Gardens. Many investors buy small rental properties here, but the city's rent control ordinance reaches rentals of any size unless they are owner-occupied or otherwise exempt, so coverage shapes every rent projection.

Good to know

Before you buy in New Brunswick

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in New Brunswick and Middlesex County. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • Check New Brunswick's rent control ordinance, which covers buildings of one or more units; owner-occupied one-family houses, owner-occupied two-family properties and Rutgers-registered fraternities and sororities are exempt, and new multiple dwellings can claim an exemption for up to 30 years.
  • For rentals built before 1978, plan for a state-required lead-based paint inspection at each tenant turnover or every three years, unless a valid two-year lead-safe certificate is in place.
  • Register buildings with three or more units with the state Bureau of Housing Inspection and expect cyclical inspections.
  • Get a certificate of smoke alarm compliance before you sell or lease a one- or two-family house; it expires six months after issue.
