I will look into and get an accurate measurement for the ceiling height.  

I understand wanting to have liquidity in the event of a market crash to potentially buy more deals, but doing so at the cost of putting yourself into a massive negative equity situation seems bizarre.Your other plan to "limit downside risk" is to cash out by selling to a family member at what you're expecting to be the height of the market and then sticking said family member with a property that they are underwater in debt with?  

I currently have a duplex in Washington Heights and I like that area a lot because it is so near to Tosa, yet has lower property values being in Milwaukee.

With the heights of the market and time of year, going inot election, it's standard and normal to take some profits, that means some selling.

If our rental in cleveland heights drops 20% (which i believe was more than the great recession drop in 2007 and I don't think we see a drop that large) we still wouldn't be under water because we bought so cheap. 

Monticello historic district will command a way higher price than Keystone or Los Angeles Heights!!

- According to the law, does the fence have to be the same height as the current one for repair or can it be a lower (cheaper) one?
