While they aren't the cheapest when you first buy them, Kwikset has locks that are easy to rekey without installing a new set of locks.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

That will buy you some time to get more capital together, and you know that money will be used to perform the job.

I work with mainly buy and hold investors here in Cincinnati.

You can probably find good deals in Tampa right now, but I'd be very strategic about where you buy and yes, insurance and taxes can be killer, but there are plenty of investors there and for good reason. 

I have not heard of one of those, but am gearing up to buy my second house and could possibly use some sort of loan program like that!  

If you're a newer investor, unsecured private funds will most likely be your best option, however it wont work for a simple buy and hold.

Congrats on buying an investment property.
