511 Linden Ave, Burlington City — $144,000 · 4 bed · 3 full bath
Cheapest bedroom on the board by a wide margin — but read the caveat: it is a twin gutted to the studs. The rough-in is done (electrical, plumbing, framing all complete and inspected), which is exactly the profile a 203(k) is built for. It sold 04/27/2026 for $140,000 and is back on at $144,000 — a flipper trying to get out at cost, four months in. That is a negotiable seller.
Best move-in-ready cost per bedroom: $49,286 — 132 4th Ave, Roebling. 7 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2,208 sq ft, described by the agent as turn-key. Seven bedrooms houses your nine with room to spare.

Compared against Ray Property Search — State 2026-08-15 (Drive ID 1pIlVrt8OoyEnEhqfI9_OvOXwxRqxMgWo). NEW / PRICE DROP / OFF MARKET tags are live today. One honest caveat: the homes.com 5-bedroom and multi-family detail feeds were queried for the first time this run, so several items tagged NEW are new to this report, not necessarily new to the market. Where I have the actual list date I've printed it on the card so you can tell the difference.

Mercer County Sheriff — PARTIAL, no rows reported
The current foreclosure PDF was located and re-derived this run (document 15431/639219500404996901) and pages 1–15 were read. Every row on those pages is dated before today, consistent with the known problem that this document is a cumulative historical file rather than a current sale calendar. Per your standing rule I am reporting no Mercer sheriff rows rather than guessing. Burlington's SalesWeb feed is current and complete — it timestamped itself 8/16/2026 4:48 AM, seventeen minutes before this run.

MOVE 1
88 Groveville Rd, Bordentown Twp — the only 6-bed / 3-full-bath house under $400K in the county
This is the single best fit the sweep has produced. Six bedrooms and three full baths in 3,020 sq ft at $359,900 houses all nine of you, and it is bank-owned: "Property is being sold AS-IS" and "Seller never occupied the property." An REO seller has no emotional attachment and a carrying cost clock running. Listed 08/14 — two days old, so you are early.
Your angle: as-is cash-equivalent close, and ask whether the REO asset manager will consider seller financing or a lease-with-option while your 203(k) is underwritten — banks disposing of REO sometimes will, and nobody asks.
Watch: mailing ZIP is 08620, a Trenton mail city — but the school district is Bordentown Regional and the MLS prefix is NJBL, both of which put it in Burlington County. Confirm the taxing municipality before you write anything.
504 Bridge St, Beverly — 7 bedrooms, and it has sat unsold for 731 days
Listed 08/15/2024. Two years on the market with exactly one $5,000 price cut in that entire stretch. Seven bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2,212 sq ft, remodeled in 2020 — roof, windows, drywall, doors. The seller bought at $260,000 in April 2022 and at $107,000 in September 2020, so the basis is low and the equity is deep. A seller who has held out two years without cutting is not testing the market; they are waiting for terms.
Your angle: seller financing. Two years of carrying cost with no offer is exactly the situation where a monthly payment beats a price. Lead with the DOM.
125 Country Club Rd, Willingboro — upset set $107,060 BELOW the judgment
Judgment $307,060.31, upset $200,000. When a lender sets the upset a hundred grand under what it is owed, it is telling the room it wants out at any price. The plaintiff is the Philip Mirabelli Trust — a private lender, not a servicer, which means an actual human can say yes to an assignment or a pre-sale payoff. The defendant is an LLC and the property is stated VACANT. Country Club Ridge is Willingboro's move-up tier — larger, more varied homes than the Levitt sections. Sale 9/10.
Your angle: ask Karcich about assignment of the bid or a third-party payoff before 9/10. Bed count is not published on sheriff records — get eyes on it this week before you commit.
Last sold 10/29/1992 for $125,000. Thirty-four years. A 1992 mortgage is long paid off, which means the seller owns this outright and every dollar of a $399,900 sale is equity — roughly $275,000 of it. That is the structural precondition for seller financing: a free-and-clear owner can carry paper because there is no lender to pay off. They have been listed since 12/05/2025 — 254 days — and have cut three times. Five bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2,548 sq ft lakefront rancher on 0.44 acres, single level.
Your angle: "You've owned this since 1992 and cut fifty thousand. Would you rather have a check for part of it now and a monthly payment on the rest — with a share of the upside when I refinance in five years?" That is your exact deal shape and this is the exact seller for it.
Friedman Vartolo — one call reaches four Burlington files
This firm is counsel of record on four separate Burlington sheriff sales: 11 Bordenshire Dr, Bordentown (upset $184,439.11, 9/10) · 406 W Broad St, Palmyra (upset $241,808.76, 9/3) · and the two-property Bleubell Broad LLC package, 519 & 521 W Broad St, Palmyra and 66 Warren St, Beverly (9/3). The Bleubell package is a genuine multi-unit portfolio — the pleadings name tenants in apartments A, B, C, D, G and H across the buildings — but the upset is $4,029,580.27, so it is out of your range as a purchase. It is worth knowing about because a $4M upset with no bidder is a file that will come back cheaper.
Your angle: one email, four files. Ask for current upset confirmation and adjournment status on all four, and whether the plaintiff on the smaller two will look at a pre-sale third-party payoff. A draft is already sitting in your Gmail.
24 qualifying · Burlington County · 4+ bed · 2+ FULL bath · ≤ $3,000
Nothing new qualified today and nothing came off market — the rental board is identical to yesterday. Only three listings in the entire county carry five bedrooms, and none carries six. Half-baths are excluded from the two-full-bath minimum throughout.
Bucket B — For sale
21 qualifying · Burlington County · 4+ bed · 2+ FULL bath · ≤ $400,000
The big news is here. Adding the 5-bedroom feed surfaced two 7-bedroom houses and two 6-bedroom houses under $400,000 that no previous run had seen. On your binding constraint — bedrooms — this is the strongest day the sweep has had.
Bucket C — Multi-family
1 qualifying · Burlington + Mercer · 6+ beds · 3+ full baths · ≤ $600,000
Every multi-family candidate at or under $600,000 had its detail page opened, because the search pages print "Studio / -- Bath" on almost all of them and the real unit mix lives only in the agent's free text. One survived on bedrooms. Burlington produced zero qualifying multi-family today.
Cost per bedroom — for-sale, qualifying
Lower is better
Price divided by bedroom count. This is the metric that matters for a nine-person household: a cheap house with four bedrooms costs you more per person than a pricier one with seven.

Every target below has its plaintiff's attorney, approximate judgment, upset figure and adjournment history pulled from the individual sale detail page. Sheriff records publish no bedroom or bathroom count — that is a known hole, and none of these should be ranked on upset price alone until you have laid eyes on the property.
