My property manager called (I live in Denver) and told me they got it turned off pretty quickly, but a whole wall's worth of drywall was damaged. 

We haven't decided if we want to keep this or sell it.

You're not in the position to be a cash buyer...as a former wealth manager, it's simply not a good play for you for many of the reasons stated above and more.  

Managing rentals isn’t for everyone, especially after dealing with bad tenants, challenging property managers, and increasing costs.

I manage 400 rentals and the most significant claim ever filed was a kitchen fire that cost $20,000.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

Can anyone suggest and agent or property manager that can help me with this?

My plan for this year is improve my credit, get my real estate license (to increase my income on top of my W-2), possibly career transition into the property management space (to learn more), and save as much as possible and learn as much as I can.I’d love to house hack close to home but my area is so expensive it seems like it’d be close to impossible. 

Self managing should be easy, if not then that Realtor can probably help you with the rental side of it. 

For your first BRRRR, finding a good contractor and possibly a property manager is key if you’re not handling everything yourself.
