I caveat the "unless you have to" because I was also working on, and paying for, renovations in the house I lived in and didn't have the cash at the time to float two mortgages, install two kitchens, two bathrooms, etc.  2. 

He also does webinars every week where he will sometimes analyze deals for a live audience.

Sounds to me like normal wear and tear from them living in the house (probably kicking the screen or something stupid), should be up to the tenant to keep the property (the screen) in good condition.

I have just relocated to San Antonio but have lived in Houston for the past 4 years.

However, I learn best when I see real live transactions or the pleasure to tag along with someone who's experienced to show me the ropes.

I have helped in a bulk package deal in phoenix where there were tenants still living in the houses.

If you experienced monthly losses, (about $1k), and live in it for 1 year to qualify the property as my primary residence, is it worth it?
