Once you past Center Street, headed west, the problem mostly resolves for the area between I-30 & I-20. 

Was this PM company neglectful or are you just trying to save the money?

Adjust your life style and start saving.

He's an excellent tenant and he didn't ask for reimbursement, but I offered it because he saved me the 1-2 hours of having to go buy one and install it.

I have a decent savings that covers 3 months of house expenses (I’m working on getting this to about 5 months cushion)Here is where I am uncertain:should I be focused on buying rental property now?

Shouldn’t be that big of an issue to fix or resolve.

I have sold my two properties in CA and AZ which netted me about $200k, I also have another $50k in savings. 

Plan conservatively and worst case, you have extra cash in the savings account at the end of each year that you can redeploy into your next deal.

Do you have a down payment saved and what state are you in?

We are desperate to lower our monthly living expenses and are currently saving in hopes of being able to house hack on a MFR when our lease is up in December through an 3.5%FHA loan.
