I wouldn't buy anything this year, market it at the absolute top again.

Rent on VRBO or AirBB for your 3/4 times a year and wait until the market cools off.

Unless you luck out and find something on the south side of the island of Deerfield Beach, your budget would put you in an "iffy" area/complex 2 miles from Deerfield Beach.

I'm not familiar with Hollywood anymore.

If you visit so often I'd suggest searching online for RE before and during your visit, bring an i-pad or tablet with you, and scouting around and seeing for yourself.
That's what I did and it turned out very well.

Lauderdale by the Sea or the Imperial Point/Coral Ridge areas of Fort Lauderdale may fit.

Yes, I agree with @City Guy997S.

The market is near an all time high.

Perhaps visit the areas and stay in multiple locations for a period of time to 'get familiar' first.

Give it 6 to 12 months to see how the economy is going to react and reconsider purchase at a later date

If you can buy between September and December, you will save a lot of money.

this bubble is no where near the housing/financial crisis of 2006. you won't see house prices tumble that much again. Safe desirable areas aren't going to drop like a stone in the next recession. they normally don't. 2006 was an anomaly in that regard to drop 25 to 30%.
