Per NJ law this must be an interest bearing account located in NJ but I am not physically in NJ to open the account as I already moved to Florida.  

Is there a website that can provide aggregate demographic data in each neighborhood  such income, type of job worked, average age and so on.On the physical asset side I'm looking for vacancy rates, average rental rates, average sales rate, lot size, average sqft and so on. 

It is not only for avoiding people physically damage your property or occupy it.

They can help you understand exactly where the boundaries of the property are and verify that there's enough room to build what you have in mind.There can be other issues to watch out for too (wetlands, flood zones, perc test, access to utilities, the physical attributes of the land, etc), as I explain in the blog post mentioned above.

If you want to figure out whether you're looking at a good potential value add opportunity, you need to evaluate the physical condition of the property and comparable properties.
