In short I feel aimless in my research and am looking for help deciding on a direction

there is nothing wrong with it, most microwaves have that option and do not have to be vented out, even though as a contractor i prefer them to vent out. if the existing pipe already vents out, which it probably does if there is a pipe in the cabinet already. what you would have to do is unscrew the 2 or 3 screws in the top cabinet that screw down into the microwave ( if not there then there may be 2 bolts in the front of the unit behind the cover that have to be loosened) that will loosen the microwave, then its a matter of taking the screws out that hold the fan at the top back, pull the blower fan out and change the direction so that it faces up, screw the fan back to the unit and put the microwave back up and bolting it. check to make sure the fan connects to the duct work, if not, add a piece of sheet metal to connect and seal that joint. btw you may want to unplug the microwave before doing so, just for safety reasons.

Any advice or links in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Koreatown is a great example as you mentioned, as well as the Arts District, directly south-east, which became the migration area after Koreatown became overpriced.

@Michael Greenberg OwnerRez is great for messaging, calendar sync, automated rental agreement signing, autoresponders, and it can take bookings direct or link to your own website.

Then, about a week later, and without warning, the property was re-listed as "Temporarily Off the Market A->T"  When we called Fannie Mae directly, we were given no information. 

Grant Kemp from Creative Cash Flow and Daniel Chad Moore of Propelio did a great YouTube and FB video on notes vs rentals.
