This is a concern with several of the electronic payment services..... they don't allow you to block someone or block partial payments etc.I don't use pay pal for rent, but i'm interested to see if you find a solution, since its not unique to PP alone

On one hand, it would save money to replace it, I’m keeping a rare piece of history, and I’m creating a fairly unique kitchen.

I just have no experience so I thought I would see what others think.Surrounding area has some brand new sub division homes and is a decent but not amazing school district.

@Ricky Cassidy - I'm not aware that Anne Arundel has unique requirements within MD Code. 

There are unique requirements for different concepts from mechanical systems, to handle the kitchen equipment, hoods, water heaters etc.

Each neighborhood has its own unique features, pros and cons and whether something is a "pro" or "con" is more subjective than objective depending on each investor.

They have appreciated well,  we might be in a unique situation being in an excellent school system in a high income area---condos are how people get into the school system.  

Then, you've got to get the city on board because these are going to be unique properties.

Yes, these areas are unique markets where initial cash flow can be difficult at first (unless you put a larger down payment).... but the long term appreciation in equity and rent wins the game compared to other areas where most invest looking for initial cashflows.  

The problem noobs run into is almost never the list, it's instead the message / offer.The list above are fine starting points, but always best to take them a step further, and segment them by age, equity, area, length of ownership, property type, etc until you have a list of people with fairly similar, and ideally somewhat unique characteristics.
