Not to mention, during installation the door frame would rack without a bottom piece and be a pain to hang. 

Market rent looks to be about $1,800, so it technically covers the mortgage, but once you add management, maintenance, reserves, etc. the numbers get real thin.So here’s my question: do I hang onto it for a few years, maybe lose a little each month and hope rates drop so I can refi and cash flow better down the road?

There are many good Contractors who still have a project go south....The reasons, in my experience, are usually one of these 3: 1) Changing the Scope Of Work, this will kill a project (and a relationship) quicker than anything 2) Micro-managing the project...y'know, hanging out on the jobsite all day long, then spending half the night there having a glass of wine with their friends and changing things, 3) Not keeping up with payments....an honest Contractor deserves to be paid promptly.Just my $.02...

As the IRS is gearing up with additional auditors, the low hanging fruit are depreciation schedules.
