What now?

[Grant Bublitz]

Hi BP,
I am in the first two months of my owner occupied duplex. One of the 22 year old water heaters is shot, and im getting both replaced. I was really hoping i could collect a years worth of rent before the $1600+ repair, but thats the way it goes. 

Everything else about the property is holding up well and the tenant is paying my mortgage and putting about $50 extra in my pocket. 
Im hoping to do another owner occupied in a year (perhaps spring 2018). My question is, what do i do in the meantime? My FHA loan requires a year long occupancy. Savings $$ is kind of sapped.
Suggestions/advice?

Thanks.
