We have 200k to invest in another property or multifamily complex.

But it is sufficiently complex that you would want at least one person to focus on it.

Here is a NJ site with links to applicable revised code:https://nj.gov/dca/divisions/c...In Ohio the tenant would have to make the repair request in writing and you would have 30 days to rectify the problem and if not rectified after 30 days the tenant could escrow rent with the court.

Holds up in court better too.

With stabilized apartment complexes, 5% is usually the rate that is used. 

If the government provided some insurance coverage for damage exceeding the enhanced security deposit (would have to be documented of course) and exception from eviction courts for a speedy eviction, then I am sure many would sign on.

My significant other is pretty resistant to 'downgrading' to another duplex/multi-unit for 12 months, which makes things a little more complex...

The wall I'd be removing is brick -- the original outside back wall of the house.Anyone know if that wall being the original brick makes this project cost- and complexity-prohibitive?

The entire purpose of court is to resolve disputes.

Will the evictions process clog the court's system?
