Legal Descriptions - Wholesaling Advice
How do I find a properties legal description? Is a legal description required in a purchase and sales agreement contract? Someone in their video said I could find information on njpropertyrecords.com but I'm not sure where the legal description is. Anything is helpful, thanks!

Not everyone is going to know what is required in NJ. For deals in Texas, the standard form requires a legal description. Legal descriptions as far as what they look like, can vary on so many things and vary from state to state, but in general, for regular houses legals look something like "Lot X, Block X, X Subdivision, etc", i.e. Lot 2, Block 10, Johnson Subdivision.
