Anyone have a good run down on what's involved to do it above board?

If you want to get involved with rentals, house hacking is a great way to start. 

If they're a good tenant keep them since a rental is about cash flow.If your goal is truly to rehab it and get a good return then look for a property that fits a flip model.NJ is 100% a tenant state, especially if they have no previous delinquencies.

@James Holmes Welcome to BP and congrats on getting your start in RE even if it involved a purchase that maybe was not an ideal move, it is still getting in and starting.

The latter tends to take longer and be more costly, but may be your only option when starting out working with a lender.Once you know what they'll approve and what the approximate origination and financing costs will be, then you can realistically start shopping for properties that fit the bill. 

I currently do not have a circle of friends who are interested in or currently involved in real estate.

I think most would agree that using an email address + bank is a reasonable expectation for pretty much any transaction in 2018, much less one with such a high value.I suggest that you should seriously consider either forcing the tenant to adapt to your online management (given that you aren't asking doing anything unreasonable with the rest of your tenants which I presume you aren't) or increase their rent as you see fit to pay for whatever inconveniences you're taking on to accommodate the tenant.You may have inherited the tenant in this "state", but unless some agreement was written into the lease prior, I personally wouldn't see that to be enough reason for you to go through so much trouble.With that being said, I believe 100% in going above and beyond for my tenants and if you feel that this is makes sense for maintaining the brand of your landlord business, I say go for it and good luck!

The nuisance and abatement officer is involved, but they have limited resources and he is pretty much a one man show in handling these issues.
