I'm still waiting for luck;-) Actually, when I work Hard/Smart luck does appear;-)

If the tenants don't care for the pool properly, it could cost you thousands to fix.

If you are waiting on a repairman for those as well general repairs its going to hurt your profit and your appearance. 

Best is to wait until you have enough for a down payment

Cost of rehab is a few months and around $10k I think — I'm waiting for contractors to look at the property to verify this for the things that I don't already have a good handle on the cost for. 

Some of those facebook groups have thousands of members.

I had a similar strategy with my first few house hacks: buy in great A & B Chicago neighborhoods....get by with minimum cash flow, and wait...What's your plan for the next purchase Michael?

There are thousands of websites out there that are disguised as helping the public find the best of the best but at the end of the day its simply taking your info and selling it to a 3rd party as a lead.If you are trying to buy a home or an investment property and you have good to excellent credit you should always use an FDIC Bank or Credit Union.

Just stating that waiting will also likely make the cost of what you want to buy go up if the last 98 years of real estate data provides the future direction.

They’re like mini-dictatorships; even after you pay them off, HOA fees keep piling up, and it starts feeling like a timeshare.Miami, while beautiful, isn’t known for cash flow unless you have deep pockets to buy beachfront properties and can afford to take losses while waiting for long-term appreciation.
