And you are continuing to invest in real estate a 1031 is a good option to explore. 

So you all have to weigh your options .   

Loved the video on the site and the real time sms option. 

@Chris Kay to learn to properly DIY manage you have two basic options:1) Trial & fire on your own, hopefully not making a major mistake that costs you tens of thousands of dollars.- Once your time is more impotant to you then the cost of a PMC, you can hire one.2) Hire a PMC to guide you on your first rental and learn from their expertise.- You can buy additional properties and DIY manage those, perhaps leaning on the PMC for any issues you're not sure how to handle on your own.Good luck:)

A lease-option agreement can postpone the sale, allowing the seller to receive rental income initially.

Otherwise try an executive office service like Regus (local options are cheaper).

Doesn’t seem fair to charge the full price to replace the door but what other options exist? 

Quote from @Sarah Kensinger: Reach out to @Jeff Chisum and see what options you may have for this property. 

Studies typically cost $3,000–$5,000 but affordable DIY options (around $400–$500) exist for simpler properties.

Oh well.However, if it does come back, what I found was that creating the optional "Individual" FinCEN ID makes things a lot easier.
