Can an owner of one rental property under an LLC easily qualify as a Real Estate Professional while also working a full-time job?

I'm an avid reader and actually take pleasure in this sort of research, but what frightens me -and this is no shade to all the kindness of info offered me by some of the industry professionals here-, .... is exactly that: There is such a largess of professional brokers, flippers, money managers, agents and companies vying for my attention that at this point, my instincts tell me to back into my tortoise shell, read a few books on this, and THEN come back into this information market.

Gainesville is a college town so there are a lot of rental possibilities due to the large influx of students and young professionals. 

Do I need to have a property inspected by a professional once I get it under contract?

You are correct that working with seasoned professionals is very important.2.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

The best advice you can get is to talk to a professional who knows your entire economic picture and let them advise you on the best course of action.
