Once you have the title for the house, you will be very motivated. 

Not only do I have to do the quiet title against the heirs, but also the city and school district have a lein on the house for all the back taxes that led to the sale before the house even belonged to me, and I have to pay to have this quiet title brought against them to have the lein released.  

What we read over several blogs is,1. if we have to take out plumbing and electrical permit, we have to have a building permit2. if we ourselves take out permit then we are responsible for all the work and insurance etc.I will definitely call the building dept

It will, however, show up on title of that property as a lien, but it does take some time for it to appear.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations they can provide for title companies in Nashville that are familiar with wholesaling?

Nope, as a landlord, I want to choose who lives in my place and hold all the cards.And if I wanted to share the cards with someone it would be a PM with a business and insurance, not a person wanting to make a profit by raising the rent above market rate. 

But home insurance is very expensive in this state.

What kind of insurance should I get?

I added the numbers up you are better off buying a clean title in good condition property.31K+19K+7K+closing cost, negotiator fee I got close to 60K...… If it was me I pass.
