Is it best to just throw cash flow at the loan untill the principal is paid off (current cash flow between the two properties after interest and all expenses are paid plus vacancy rate = about $250 left monthly) refinance at renewal to pay it back in full? 

I would suggest getting another full-time job for the time being and investing/doing STR on the side until you can fully and comfortably replace the income that you would be receiving from your job.Is your LTR in need of repair?

I'm a out of state landlord, the tenant skipped out last month and left me with a damaged, filthy, full of garbage and roaches house.

Property owners remain responsible for operations and maintenance, only because they retain full ownership.

Sometimes they'll have gurus come thru that charge more for a full day class or more extensive training.I've posted before some lists of area meetups...each has a little different twist and following. 

I am looking to join a mentorship program to help lower my learning curve and until I find it, I am educating myself with books, as well as YouTube University and great advice from the BiggerPockets community.I do work full-time in a career that I love and is very rewarding, but I also know I won't attain my goals with my current job.

Some, like ours, focus on offering optional services such as renters insurance or washer/dryer rentals without requiring tenants to opt into a full package.When choosing a property manager, I recommend asking about the structure and purpose of any fees.

In fact I had one done that size over the summer from some real slobs who moved out, and it required an inordinate amount of deep cleaning including almost one full day just on the filth of the kitchen floors, and it was $400.
