I learned my lesson and am keeping reserves  for emergencies and lower LTV on financing.

Expenses: What are the operating expenses, including taxes, insurance, maintenance, and reserves?

If so, invest.Then ask yourself if you're financially fit; can afford this property to make it 1.25 DSCR and have significant reserves for vacancy, capex, lead times, etc.

This frustrating because she claims that she reserves the right to ignore me because she is working.We use zelle for payment and it happens to be her sister's account.

People will confirm wanting to stay at your unit....you guessed it. :)  But all of those bring you closer to the lead that books *and pays you*.Best of luck.

Be creative on your purchase and get money back at closing to cover the reserves.

If you have someone reserve a year, you can charge back utilities but it might be a lot of hassle.

Don't over leverage and carry reserves.

Retain a cash reserve to cover vacancies or downturns, and align with your long-term goals by consulting a financial advisor.

But we can only assume since you stated this does not have to be disclosed because the work has been repaired, that you have confirmed the reapirs were done properly and in acccordance with any and all codes.
