In addition, I do want to get some type of temporary security camera for the property while doing some minor rehab fixes, Are there any suggestions for temporary security cameras?

@Lance Turner Approach the seller by emphasizing the benefits of seller financing: it could help sell the property faster, provide a steady income stream, offer tax benefits by deferring capital gains, and give them security since they’ll hold the title until fully repaid.

I have a 9-5 that I want out of but want to secure at least my first property prior to leaving it.

Here in Nevada, these shenanigans would cost the landlord twice the security deposit in small claims court.

Alternatively, you could take a loan against your 401k for that initial amount.Once you’ve secured the property and paid the 5%, you can then work with a private money lender (PML) to close on the property once the deed is ready. 

Given that the house is paid off but has $27K in back taxes, you could offer to cover those taxes upfront in exchange for favorable terms on the remaining balance—like low (or no) down payment, and small monthly payments.You could also negotiate for a subject-to deal where you take over the property subject to the taxes, while still securing control of the property for your BRRRR strategy.

Another option may be to secure the loan using primary residence as collateral. 

You need a securities license to sell securities.

While off market deals may be your ideal scenario in securing an investment - lets discuss ways in which i can also possibly make that happen for you.Personal Standpoint - Wholesalers -  i would be interested in investing outside my region should there be an opportunity in fix and flip or BRRRR.

The poor broker who gets scammed is not only out a lot of money but their reputation is going to suffer big time as their borrowers info is now all out on the Dark Web..
