I would then plan to use this forced equity (since I plan to buy a fixer upper) to invest in another home.I have been constantly reading to househack right into the MFH, but this may take some time for me to acquire the money and purchasing power.

We also had a specific end clause to the lease at the end of the 3 year period so the tenant would be forced to relocate or renegotiate at the end of the lease.Our tenant ended up passing away half way through the lease.  

Rather than try to force that on him, I would like to know what a reasonable remedy would be for breaking the lease.

Don't force them out just to sell the home. 

This factor significantly impacts your long-term success and stress levels as a landlord.Be wary of theoretical numbers, especially for C-class properties.

Migration will be a much larger force, as it has been for the last few years.The next years will bring a rebalancing of local markets.

They don't force you to buy anything.  

Buy the rock solid rental and get your appreciation, cash flow, depreciation, principal pay down, equity capture on a discounted by and forced appreciation gain for a well targeted rehab.

A little about me: I'm a two-time combat veteran with the US Air Force.

Only 3 logical reasons:1) Your PMC is terrible and forcing you to handle the eviction- FIRE them!
