The property is located near the downtown area.As far as the occupancy, I'm not sure yet of the reason for being at 80%.

That message was on May 23rd, it is now nearly 2 months later (July 19th) and I still have heard nothing.

I would love to make a move before the end of the year and so I keep trying to decide which of the following is best for me:1) Buy 1 more expensive CA property near here, and thus a better tenant (less likely to cause issues), but lose a little bit of money every month due to the current numbers, while hoping for future appreciation? 

I too very recently invested in Lee Arnold's so-called system but I'm glad to say, not anywhere near the extent that you and your husband did.

I would like to purchase another duplex in the near future and am looking for a possible turnkey.

I already have land holdings near Everett that will certify out at 304 salable density bonus credits.To play this game, I get certified and then "clip off" the transferable development rights for sale to urban developers in the county, who can cash them in for an increase in dwelling unit density from an original 22 units/acre to 58 units, and building heights from 45' to 75'.

But you reached or are near critical mass.  

You can find some absolute MTR gems near smaller hospitals that aren't so obvious but ultimately, housing supply in the area is something I'd say is more important coupled with your amenities.

Bought my first property near downtown Seattle that had two homes on it for 26K.
