A real estate pro is spending their time in real property business.

Spend a year working for him and solving all his headaches. 

You might be unrealistic on what you have to spend, or you're looking at the wrong types of deals. 

@Nold R.In addition to the great post from Dave, possibly consider an option where the property is taken out of the LLC sooner rather than later and held as tenants-in-common prior to the sale, possibly setting you up in a position to take your share of the proceeds and individually purchase a replacement property via 1031 exchange. 

It's an investment into the property, and if/when they move out or even if they're there you can now add a traditional dryer to the property and collect additional rent.

The 500-hour rule means spending at least 500 hours actively managing your rental property, which could include things like tenant communication, maintenance, and bookkeeping.You can also group multiple properties together as one “activity” to make reaching the hours easier.

(Still awaiting Seller to confirm report it’s been done as she agreed to the inspectors recommendation but has mentioned she’s not replacing it) In additional to the foundation has shifted and need reconstructed due to a lot of slopping in the home (My agent said it comes with wear and tear, so they might argue that their not going to fix it so I didn’t put it on the IRSA to repair).

Additionally, my wife and I plan to retire in NC (still a few years out from that ; ) but we're actively planning and focusing our investment strategy in the Raleigh-Durham area.

We've had it happen before, nothing major, but just some extra money we weren't originally planning on spending to turn a unit. 

Perhaps you should take a small step back and spend a few months saving a little more for your reserves before attempting to buy the next one.
