I pulled this off the Ohio Landlord Tenant laws...State Code 5321.04 Landlord Obligations Section 4 "Maintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning fixtures and appliances, and elevators, supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord"

You should also require this information is updated annually.You can still place reasonable restrictions on the animal, such as: Requiring a current (and annually updated) Veterinarian report on the health of the animal, including vaccine status; current appropriate local licensing of the animal if required in your jurisdiction; require the animal be spayed or neutered unless contraindicated by the Veterinarian; require the animal to be in a carrier or on a leash when in common areas of Multi-Family properties, particularly elevators or hallways and stairwells; require tenants to clean up after the animal in common areas and/or within their unit, and prevent offensive odors from emanating from their unit; aggressive or nuisance animals (includes frequent barking that is NOT an alert by the animal) can be cause for removal of the animal and/or eviction of the tenants.

While it's not a Zone 'V' location, did you factor-in the potential costs of buying a property which lays below the base flood elevation?

However, you're super close to Hoboken (can walk to an elevator which takes you to Hoboken and the light rail), and you're bordering Jersey City Heights, which has changed a huge amount in a short time and has restaurants, bars, etc.In my mind there aren't almost any areas I'd consider "bad" (the whole city is like 1 square mile), but it's very block-by-block, so you'll get a sense when you're walking around.

I'm in Texas and if I purchase the delinquent taxes then it seems I own the debt in the form of repayment from the homeowners at an elevated tax rate. 

Just like I'm in favor of free speech.

{Note: we have an environmental condition in our Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS)}.confirm if an engineering assessment/study (something beyond the normal building inspection) is required;  order if necessary; review results before signing off on inspection condition in APS.obtain copies of any zoning confirmation letters or variances applicable to the property (and its current use);obtain consent letter from Vendor to pull property histories for workorders, citations, zoning variance applications, planning submissions, & building permit history from City/Municipal planning and inspections department;(if applicable) obtain verification from fire marshal that property is up-to-date on compliance and inspections;obtain inspection history and operational certificate for any lifts/elevators on the property;in addition to estoppels for tenants we also review all supplier/service contracts and, if the contract is informal {aka handshake}, we execute an estoppel with the supplier/provider.   

See how they qualify to bid, see how the trustee/sheriff calls out the legal description and says their speech about the default amount, opening bid amount, etc..

Look for low rise buildings (no elevators) these tend to have low HOA and many have no rental restrictions.
