It has to be "bored" in and won't be functional until Tuesday.

I would not buy a rental with a pool unless you were in Vegas PHX  those type of areas.and I would pay for a pool service your self if you do buy one with a pool.. they are liabilities both functionally and a accident waiting to happen.. someone drunk diving into the shallow end and getting hurt... kid falling in and getting hurt etc.you won't get any more rent for themGhetto   NUFF said about that..

:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/680...Without providing a laundry list, I think the theme is to tackle the wear points and troubleshoot the individual unit.For example, start at the door (door mat to catch debris, good functioning new lock, perfect close and open, door stop) and work through each room with that level of detail ( example: Bathroom: new shower curtain, bath mat, caulk, new toilet flapper or overhaul kit inside, strong towel bars, etc.)I would focus first on the low cost items that can prevent larger problems (your doorstop type theme) and then also evaluate any larger item close to the end of its useful life, especially if showing signs of problems (be it hot water heater, worn flooring, or an appliance). 

Josh Shaw Camelot court?

They've in the process of evicting the tenant but the court date isn't for another 3 weeks.

Operating agreements are important because in resolving disputes over the operation of an LLC, courts first look to the terms of an operating agreement.

I did a flip and took a beating, even ended up in court and it seemed like it would never end.

Is that bad luck or a function of the market/soil?

If this is a low end rental I'd make sure everything is clean and functional and use as-is.If you are looking for something a little better maybe leave the cabinets in place but install new laminate counter tops, sink, faucet, and mid-grade appliances.

I say this as someone who has in fact filed a title insurance claim because they didn't include something on the Prelim that they should have, resulting in me, by name, getting a court summons in the mail over something the previous owner did not do that they were supposed to do.
