However, it doesn't read like that has been substantial.  

@Seidy Lasker Wash sale rules apply to stock options if they are deemed "substantially identical" to a security sold at a loss within 30 days, such as options with similar expiration dates or strike prices.

So I get your hesitation to be too demanding and your desire for the problems to go away as fast as they can, however since you have NO property manager ( I don't use one either), it is incumbent that you take a more ACTIVE approach with management of your property.Let's review your situation.  1st time leak occurred, you sent a plumber over to find the problem.  

These markets offer a great mix of affordability, strong rental demand, and steady appreciation.

It’s a great way to meet local demand while creating steady cash flow.

If you are thinking of targeting travel nurses just know that most of the demand is in the 1-2 BR space.

We typically alter our strategy seasonally, as demand shifts with the seasons.

High demand and still relatively low entry costs. 

They demand the highest rent and therefore attract white-collar, high-income professional tenants who are “lifestyle” renters by choice.

I would definitely factor in some substantial capex/ maintenance and repair costs which could lower your returns.
