Anything large should set off the alarms.   

I'm setting up Buildium and am trying to structure my leases, payments, and expenses through the business accounts. 

I also saw an interesting article from the National Apartment Association that charges the tenants to have a package pickup locker. https://www.naahq.org/news-publications/communities-set-package-delivery-programs

Supplement it with some business / legal classes, Spanish (if you plan on being around construction), take some real estate classes if offered as electives and you should be all set.

I will have around 100k to be used on a personal property and/or first deal.My goal is to focus on commercial real estate using cash flowing apartment complexes in order set myself up for early retirement.

Are you dead set on living in the place, or living close to it?  

Banks have "Loan Loss Reserves" set aside to cover the difference. 

Ability to set up viewings of listed properties?

For the most part, I have also found Facebook groups to be a good source of information, and a great way to connect, although I find FB groups come with their own set of drawbacks.

So you'll need to reach out to two different sets of mortgage lenders.
