Investing in Salem County
Salem County is New Jersey's least populous county, a largely agricultural area along the Delaware River in the state's southwest corner. Its seat is the City of Salem. The Delaware Memorial Bridge connects the county to Wilmington, Delaware, and the New Jersey Turnpike begins near the bridge.
Properties are mostly single-family homes and small multifamily buildings in older river and farm towns. Lower purchase prices draw investors looking for cash-flowing rentals and rehabs.

Before you close in Salem County
Check these with the municipality and your attorney before you close on a rental or rehab in Salem County.
- Landlord registration. File a landlord registration statement with the municipal clerk for 1–2 unit properties, or with the NJ Department of Community Affairs for most buildings with 3 or more units.
- Certificate of occupancy. Many towns require a CO or continued CO inspection when a property sells or a new tenant moves in. Ask the town before you set a closing or lease date.
- Lead-safe certification. Under P.L. 2021, c.182, many rentals built before 1978 need a lead-based paint inspection at tenant turnover or on the state's schedule.
- Flood zone and insurance. Check the FEMA flood map. If the property is in a special flood hazard area, include flood insurance in the payment.
- Entity in good standing. Keep your LLC's annual report current with the NJ Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services so title can insure the closing.
