DSCR, Fix & Flip, LLC and other business-purpose loans for investors across Warren County, including Phillipsburg and the county seat, Belvidere.
Investing in Warren County
Warren County lies along the Delaware River in northwest New Jersey, across from Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. Its seat is Belvidere. Phillipsburg faces Easton, Pennsylvania, across the river, and I-78 and I-80 cross the county. Hackettstown and Washington are the other main town centers.
Properties here are mostly single-family homes, older twins and small multifamily buildings in the river and railroad towns, plus farms and rural lots. Lower prices than in much of north Jersey draw investors to rentals and rehabs.

Before you close in Warren County
Check these with the municipality and your attorney before you close on a rental or rehab in Warren 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.
