The only thing impacting the prices is that investors from high COL areas have bought up our houses increasing demand letting the prices skyrocket 20-25% in less than a year.

I have a lot of people here trying to hold me back and really think my best bet is to move out of town and force myself to go all in.

Multiple mortgage inquiries in a short period have the same impact as one.

Once you establish they are buildable then you need to research utilities, permitting, impact fees, as well as overall development requirements and construction costs.

There is no need to force the deal, just wait for the right deal and opportunity to arise and let the prices cool off a bit.

Or should I just force him to buy out the house in full?

Since you have a very loose arrangement with your tenant you could always ask them to help you out with the fees since they are late on their payment, but forcing them to seems like a crappy move. 

This would impact both the expenses side of operations as well as the revenue side, hence causing different cash on cash returns.

I hear what you are saying, I operate in the most landlord oppressive jurisdiction imaginable where the system has no problem forcing landlords into bankruptcy to protect tenants.
