I desire a position that offers vast cross-team exposure where I have a more direct connection with tenants.

I have analyzed 10 deals a day, and have viewed every single house in the market with my zip code 39056. 

I have been spending the last few months extensively watching podcasts, reading books, the BP forums, and practicing analyzing properties. 

Since I'm out of state, I'm working with a Realtor as my boots on the ground to help me physically look at properties and analyze deals.  

@Brock Hoffman, this is a common occurrence for sure, and when you are walking commercial contractors and residential contractors through the same project you’ll get vastly different numbers.  

I think you need to analyze what your skills\assets are and pick the model that best fits those.As an example, if you are in the construction industry and can do most anything then flipping might be the way to go.

The numbers still make sense for us to buy it even if we have to pay for the roof, but I just wanted to use the vast knowledge of the BP community to see if anyone had any ideas on how to move forward.

When it comes to Realtors, they will help you identify which areas of town are good to invest in and what to expect in rents, quality of tenants, how to analyze deals, provide you with investing opportunities (both on market and off market).Besides figuring out what your goals are, how you want to get started, and meeting like-minded people, the first action item would be to talk to a lender.

I've been researching, reading and networking for the past 6 months  Using sites such as "Redfin, Zillow, Trulia, Craigslist, Etc. to find properties and using the BP calculator to analyze properties, (goal is to analyze 100 properties by the end of the first quarter in order to truly understand how to analyze properties and cashflow).
