Don't take it all and run out and buy a Lambo the first chance you get :) You also want to make sure you're building a solid foundation for your business.

I've purchased a home with roof issues, foundation issues, HVAC issues, furnace issues. 

Hey ,
not a professional at this what so ever. From what I’m understanding , this should not be much of an issue on the home I am looking to buy.  Property is in Dallas, Texas. Will this pose a large problem in the ...

Scan Foundation outside and look for anything that looks out of place (still refining what i'm looking for here)5.

@Ashley BudyakThe best advice I can give (assuming one has a good foundation/education in REI) is just "start!"

Also, there might be underline issues like foundation that cannot be discovered during the warranty period.

Therefore, I know the tax rules like 1031 exchanges and everything related to NOL carry-forwards & carry-backs, partnership basis rules, etc, but am missing the foundation on how to start, best ways to finance as someone trying to get their foot in the door, best ways to look for deals, what items are a must to know beforehand, etc. 

I would steer away from properties that are older-  pre- 1970 or properties that need major work- roof, boilers, foundation, basements. 

Let me sum up your situation first as I want to lay the foundation to my advice.  

Security, repairs to the envelope and/or foundation and bringing the property up to code are paramount to getting the new business up and running.
