I wouldn't take that money to buy him out I'd liquidate and move into better asset class like extended stay development or 3 story walk up apartments 

You can achieve or even exceed your current cash flow in markets that are more landlord-friendly than Boston.

Super low vacancy rates in SD, even STR's. 

Honestly with an interest rate like that you could even not pay off your primary and put any excess capital in a high yields savings account and be financially further in the long term.  

If you pay more, you won't meet your metrics and will probably have negative cashflow and/or equity.You may have to make 10, 20 or even 100 offers to get one accepted at the price that meets your numbers.This is what all investors did BEFORE the Great Real Estate Crash of 2008-2010.

Herein lie possibilities of lucrative ventures; here are myths that even a hardened investor would consider runway.

Good morning @Joshua MartinGreat thing about a VA mortgage is you can do an IRRRL even after you have moved out of the property!

Which ok, I get it, ACH cost money, BUT, RentRedi does not give the landlord the option to pay that. 

Update to my previous post (the update button didn't seem to do anything for me).Their customer support team was able to help me get my account back, even though the email made it seem otherwise.

If he does pay, then you can just  cancel it but if he does not, you haven't wasted more time and have delayed the eviction process even longer.
