In hind sight I should have just upgraded to solid core doors. 

We purchased it sight unseen and although we may have spent a little bit more than we should have, it's a great first rental property.

Thanks for your feedback.While I disagree with @Mitch Messer in his opinion that it is NEVER acceptable to have negative cashflow as that is a short sighted philosophy applied to a long term investment strategy, this property would be highly negative. 

Domenick....right..now...just makes mortgage and repairs...would go negative..Back to the numbers...64k in taxes....plus closing costs and realtor...that's 30kish....So 94k minus 200k...that gets me profit of 106k plus any principle the renters paid....so could be 100k....thats 200k...in 30 years...assuming I put very low down...on original loan..

Bring sight unseen overseas is very dangerous in my opinion, especially if it’s your first international purchase.If you don’t think you have what it takes, you can partner with experienced international investors who do.

At this point, it has become a matter of principle more than anything else. 

Selling seems short-sighted in a market like San Jose given the overall city market should rise throughout the next decade with the development from tech firms and downtown development and support from groups like the Knight Foundation.

Even if the seller didn't explicitly permit the work, there is a legal principle called "undue enrichment" that might apply.

He gave me a rough number. it does not include insurance and interest, so I plugged the insurance in the "other cost" excluding maintenance fees and vacancy.Estimated mortgage payments on 7/1 arm with 3 year prepay$2,182.00 excluding principle and Interest built into the loanMay need a personal loan of 30kRent a year$50,400.00 Monthly$4,200.00 A list of all Annual Expenses estimated run downWater/sewer/trash$2,200.00 Gas Heat$1,440.00 Common area Electric Annual$60.00 Insurance$2,920.00 City License 75.00 unit= 525 years$525.00 Management fee at 10%$6,000.00 County Tax$4,028.00 vacancyMaintenance feesThe other cost breakdownwater/sewer/trash bill$2,200.00 Gas Heat$1,440.00 Common area electric$60.00 City License$525.00 Total$4,225.00 not including maintenance fees
