Quick info on me that could possibly help: Licensed realtor, good credit, first rehab I’ve owned but not the first flip project completed by the GC or by myself as the realtor, strong W2 income in addition to real estate.

Is this easily possible without much of a tax burden?

Aloha Capital can help finance DSCR loans. 

Just trying to figure out our options here, would love to keep the interest rate if possible for obvious reasons.

I would love the buyout approach but given his age, in his 80s, I believe he wants to cause us harm in any way possible.

Tenants understand that the owner or PM has the right to periodically inspect the dwelling and if it is found that the tenant is destroying the home the Section 8 office can be contacted and the benefits will be placed at risk along with possible eviction.  

Either way, from this point forward provide the best experience possible to your guests so that you can bury the bad reviews with more good ones- most guests won't bother to search back that far. 

Lots of prime real estate and interesting/unique properties and opportunities and plenty of sellers with a low capital base, willing to owner finance on homes and land. 

You can still terminate their lease for repeated violations.I would do whatever you can to get rid of this tenant as quickly as possible.

I'm currently exploring the possibility of buying my first home in the Pine Hills area of Orlando, with the intention of house hacking.
