An eviction is done to remove the tenant when they have violated the lease. 

You'll want to make sure that you use that new property long enough to establish that you had an investment intent and then changed that intent. 

With the hotel we're currently doing or on any other projects he can create an IUL.

That's how I would propose it as an option next time.

For legal issues, we do have an attorney who as a matter of course handles closings, document preparation, and legal strategy for us.  

He is also in the service, is an investor and also an investor focused agent in your area.

My profile has my YouTube channel and I have an episode that shows you exactly how to create the comp set and look at amenities that matter, what others are paying for cleaning and how other listings look - that way you can see how to best market your property. 

When I buy an occupied property, I introduce myself to the tenants on the day of closing; then, I inspect every unit within one week.

And your net worth will thank you.If you still want to go ahead, you'd be better off buying a house than an apartment because, while the value of the building itself will go to 0, you'll still have the value of the land, bearing in mind that the land might actually lose value too given the depopulation and the yen depreciation.Sorry if I'm pooping a party but make sure you understand what you're getting into (which you're already doing by asking the forum) and then make the decision that's right for you according to your objectives.
