I am in the process of selling a house here in Sydney and with the proceeds of the sale, wish to buy a multi-family in NH (probably Manchester).

Small claims court, collection agency, lawyer note, etc.Thanks for any help you can give!

If a tenant loses their job and does not meet their financial obligations and what they agreed to in the rental agreement, then the landlord had best proceed with addressing the issue.  

I will not purchase in a bad area and I will not purchase where the courts are tenant friendly.

Only the closing of the sale must precede the closing of the purchase.There's also a Reverse 1031 allowing the purchase to proceed before the sale. 

However, I believe all the proceeds need to be for business use.  

Also, NYC is *extremely* pro-tenant when it comes to housing court.  

I won the court battle and became a full time father (which in and of itself is a major undertaking) I then started a consultation business and helped over 2 dozen businesses flip their margins.

Also a good attorney--at his expense-- and if you go to court, another fee.

The current owner says he went through chapter 13 bankruptcy years ago and was surprised to hear it was still in his name at the court house.
