Your best option is to terminate the current manager and switch to one with better processes and communication.

That might be an option.

Option A would allow me to keep it as a long term rental .

If you have equity and decent credit, a conventional Fannie Mae HomeStyle (or the Freddie Mac version) would likely be the better option instead of an FHA 203k loan (which will require a 3rd party HUD consultant to oversee the deal in addition to having the contractor involved). 

@Joshua MartinSince you might sell next year, a HELOC is probably the better short-term option—lower upfront costs and flexibility to pay it off when you sell.

Your strategy could change the best loan options for you.

What other options would be good?  

I was looking for some advice (viable target areas in Cleveland or Ohio in general, financing options and credible PM/realtor contacts) from the experts here though especially if you are in a similar boat as mine (reside in Canada/Ontario area and invest in US). 

Maybe being a limited partner with some of the really good syndicators out there is an option to this route. 

CO states single dwelling (converting to a 2fam will cost upward of $100k- not an option).If I hold out- the property will have net profit of $600- possibly more if I refi again to bring my rate down.
