But again with some minor modification to your business model you can establish those properties as ones you intend to hold for productive use which would then qualify them.  

Despite that and limited local knowledge I'm sincere about rapidly building competence and developing a model that scales quickly.

Brandon - Did you find a Nashville CPA with real estate expertise that you would recommend? 

@Stephen Williams Commercial loans aren't my expertise but hopefully others will chime in.

All that you should care about is working backwards on your deals so you're investing in the kind of model that you're comfortable investing in.So what is your financing model?

They're whole busiess model is to put money to work so calling it due isn't high on their list of priorities.

As with anything else, picking one (maybe 2) and specializing in that arena will allow you to focus your research/education/expertise rather than information overload and not really getting any closer to ready for the real world of investing. 

Visit the property and evaluate what it needs for what model the deal will fit in. 

@Paul AltmanIn my opinion while a contractor will out perform an inspector in their area of expertise, you will do better overall using an home inspector. 

The inspector has construction knowledge but also compliance knowledge, probably has more information on technical repair issues with mechanical, HVAC on different models and appliances.A contractor buys parts, say a GFI breaker, thinks nothing of it as it's at the store.
