Liquidating the property is by far your best bet. 

I'm willing to bet you may have to pay some of their demand to ensure this doesn't happen.3.

Ayer, Billerica, Hudson, Maynard - those are going to be your best bet for cash flow in Middlesex County.

Buy quality assets with NON section 8 tenants that have 700 fico scores thats safe bet in the US>  And what I do ..

I only mention this because I noticed your mention of Furnished Finder, which is the only platform I list my MTR, and FF caters to 30+ day stays. 

The settl4ement was private, but I bet it was at least $400k knowing the attorney's involved, maybe more. 

The departing tenant says she will continue paying rent, but I wouldn't bet on it.

If your goal is to offset your mortgage with a house hack then Lowell would be a good bet, but if you're looking for a longer term appreciation play then the areas closer to the city would be better, although the offset from cashflow may be lower than what you're looking for.A good step for you would be to dig into specific areas more as @Lien Vuong noted above.

Best bet is likely (not absolute - everyone's situation is different) is to look at a national lender or broker that has options in lots of states - its a great development versus 20 odd years ago, with technology, internet, places like this - can have access to many more options than before (local broker or lender thats it)

I bet it looks very amateurish.
