I live in Southern California Los Angeles area, have a W-2 job in Irvine and no expenses or debts, with an excellent credit score. 

I will do anything reasonable to avoid the expense of turning a tenant. 

Evictions are expensive, encourage them to just move out if it doesn't get better.

Living in NY as well, everything is so damn expensive here and I am so weary of out of state because of being scammed in the past.  

All expenses should have been capitalized in 2016 and taken against the income in 2017.

@Andrew Michaud I would focus your spend on what will generate the most income for you either through increase rents or reduced expenses.

The numbers tell me I will make ~600 per month including all the expenses on maintenance, vacancy, etc.

Again leveraging your PM skills and passion, you can partner with others to tackle multiple deals and be an active investor to support your living expenses today. 

It's a bit more expensive up front but saves a ton of money in the long run.
