Our interests are currently more focused on short term rentals, but we are also interested in many other aspects of real estate investing and looking to make a start.

So I started looking into other schools.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Tell them you want a 7 day inspection contingency.I'd have my GC (who you really need to find first, vet them, meet with them, feel them out, ask for referrals, look at their work) walk through and take pics and start formulating the costs.The ARVs can be pulled for you by an agent. 

I’m not sure why it hasn’t started to gentrify with its proximity to the West Loop etc.

First 10 years is interest only, then after that you start paying principal/interest, but you can pay off the credit sooner and then as you pay it off you can invest in more deals once you get your other properties cash flowing to cover the debt service.

I'm just starting out in wholesaling.

Before I started out a decade ago, I tended toward books and information. 

The moment folks starts testing new markets because Memphis "Isn't working out" is the moment all the deals reveal themselves!

If not, or if this is a first time occurrence, I'd start with gathering any tangible proof that the damages are a result of the other landlord or tenant ie; video camera, pictures and suggest to the tenant that they seek a resolution based on the evidence.
