I am looking to purchase an investment home in the Nashville to Clarksville TN area.  Is it better to use one of the big bank online lenders or does anyone know of a local lender who works well with self-employed buyers?

Your best bet for lending is DSCR. The property has to cash flow to be able to qualify.
