You still need to address their role in this situation directly or it will happen again as managing repairs is a core part of the PM role.

Take that year to gain some financial literacy and find out what types of investments you're comfortable with, and find the right people to help you invest it.BUT, if you have piles of debt that you can't keep up with, don't wait a year to address those...

If you want me to give you a quote, I'd need to know the address, 1st lien details (type of loan, balance, interest rate), credit score, income/DTI details, and target LTV (can go up to 80% CLTV on the 4plex). 

If the rents were collected after closing and they were not addressed in the sale, then you shouldn't have a legal obligation to give them anything.
