A door that doesn't open is probably a material defect (safety issue, if nothing else). 

Buy patiently and methodically and you'll do just fine

The typical buyer is 1031 exchange, retiree, estate planning, foreign buyer, or ultra high net worth that wants cash flow but safety so will take reduced yield for quality.We stick to strong suburban to urban locations.

My soft structure apartment needs to have the carport reinforced for earthquake safety.  

If you've done your math, added all of your safety margins, made an offer, and the deal doesn't work out, on to the next!  

I was able to teach them everything from using a compound miter saw, to proper safety gear, to applying hands on knowledge when negotiating with subs. 

If I no longer feel safe at the complex I am currently living in is there anyway I could terminate the lease early?

I have a full time job working for an Engineered Wood Products Company as a Safety Manager.

Be patient.

Next time, we'll be more patient and wait until it is completely finished and staged.
