Home inspectors are trained to find code violations and defects.

I'd aim for the 2 year mark of living there for the Home Sale Exclusion (Code Sec 121).

I know it's never as simple as a zip code list.......BUTCould any Nashvillians give me a basic idea of areas to look for investment stock in the city please.

(for my passive portfolio) I am doing allot of market and sub market research to determine the best zip codes and have narrowed it down to three and am searching them for specific neighborhoods every weekend.

For example,  I own 8 duplexes in 1 zip code for which I paid anywhere from $38k to $65k.  

Check out: http://nkmls.com - click on "Find Properties" and search for multifamilies in Covington or by zip code - 41011.

They are there to enforce housing code.

To make NECESSARY means EMERGENCY repairs, ORDINANCE or BUILDING CODE compliance. 3.

When this happens, they'll ask for extension after extension until the issues -- like code violations, municipal or utility liens -- are cleaned up enough so they can close.

Simple reason, only cities can enforce building codes in TX.
