They mainly look for safety issues so if it is average house you should be okay.

Currently I have been putting it all in savings till I have a safety net for the property.  

I'm trying to decide if its worth those costs to have access to those funds for a safety net or to possibly use to acquire more cash flowing property.

The 3 elements above will go a long way to getting you this, but you will still need the vision and skills to spot trouble and execute to avoid it.If you are unable and/or unwilling to find a deal that meets the above requirements, then do not force a deal that gives you none or only a few ... in that case you are better off sitting on cash or looking at another strategy or asset class to invest in, but those other investments should also have similar such requirements to give you the margin of safety to make it through a downturn when (not if) it happens.
