From a rate perspective, likely is not close to making sense at the moment, would need rates to drop further, however if value has increased and you are looking for cash-out, that motivation (any lower rate as icing on the cake / secondary concern) it could make sense to look into

Simple, the MTM tell them they need to go, I am not certain of PA laws, but I think a 30-day notice is sufficient, and or cash for keys  Well my lender said I can not qualify for an owner occupied loan unless one of the properties is vacant.   

I'm sure you could...as long as you're actually paying that expense to someone...oh wait, that person would be yourself...so you'd need to both record the income of you paying yourself as well as the expense of yourself paying you.
