To be specific, they pay $1,300 a month when I probably could get about $1,600, though I do not know for sure, as last year was the first time it was rented. 

Plus, how will you evaluate a property if you don’t know your lender’s loan criteria?

I have been in the STR game 7 years and have built from scratch two times already, with unique architecture/ design forward STR specific builds as a hedge against the competition in my area.

If it fits your criteria and your investment objectives, it is a deal.As for ways to source off-market deals: door knocking, direct mailers, cold calling.  

What I specifically wanted/ want to know is *IS THERE A QUICKER legal way to get him out without going through the eviction process as I need the income to restart as soon as possible.

If so where would I get a lease specifically tailored to include payments through Airbnb?

Specifically, the dramatic difference in purchase price and foreclosure rates in the States vs Canada.Granted, I'm sure that with enough digging, good investment options can be found in any market, but after a very quick comparison of my local market (Peterborough, Ontario, a city of under 100k about 1.5 hours outside of Toronto) with, for example, Buffalo, the price discrepancies are MASSIVE. 

I wonder if this is area specific?

Specifically, I'm interested in pursuing a cash-out refinance to leverage the equity in my investment properties.If you know of any reputable financial institutions in the area that cater to investors like myself, I'd greatly appreciate your recommendations! 

Underwriting the deal with an underwriting model specifically built for syndication deals is key.
