I’ve had clients with multiple properties that owned in the iron bound for more than a hundred years sell because Newark made it so difficult to operate there.

Ironically, from the supply side, you’ve probably noticed as I have a glut of A type multifams popping up.

If it was built before like 1965 it's likely got cast iron plumbing which will crack after even an inch of lifting.
