Just make sure you find someone who has similar lifestyle as you (noise/cleanliness/etc) - vet them just like you would a normal tenant and interview to get a sense of their personality.3) I purchased in 2015 so prices were lower than now (from a cashflow perspective), so may be harder to attain now, but the other 2 units + 2 parking spaces paid for all the expenses w/approx $400 left over... but I also sacrificed area to get a good deal/income I wanted. 

Oh yes, easy as pie.

After the storm is over, they may go back to normal 10% down, but they are defiantly going to ask for a lot of skin in the game.  

Or does one person normally put up all the capital while the other focuses on sourcing and closing the deal?

I normally point my prospective tenants to submit their application and background check through Avail.

@James Nix it looks like a metal sink with drain, but is different than the types I have normally seen.

I don't believe you normally get to do inspections, and it may come with "tenants." 

In this case, it's in OpenDoor's best interest for things to resume back to normal, so of course they're saying it's time to buy again!

I’ve got a handyman I’ve worked with for about a year now, he at times can be a little expensive but normally he’s very prompt and fixes things if they go wrong.

Even then, that's just one piece of the pie.
