What to Check Before Buying
Flood & ElevationConfirm the current FEMA flood zone, elevation certificate when available, lowest-floor elevation and any prior storm/flood repairs.
InsuranceObtain current flood, homeowners and wind/coastal insurance quotes before relying on a monthly-cost estimate.
Permits & Legal UseReview building permits, certificates, additions, decks, enclosed lower levels and any rental approvals with the Borough.
Parking & AccessSmall shore lots can have limited off-street parking. Confirm actual legal parking and do not assume street spaces are guaranteed.
Rental & Investment Considerations
Lavallette's seasonal demand makes rental income attractive, but buyers should confirm current Borough rental-registration, inspection, occupancy and safety requirements before purchasing on projected rental revenue.
Do not use sample income figures as a substitute for due diligence. Rental rates, operating costs, flood insurance, maintenance, taxes and seasonal demand vary property by property and year by year.
