I'm looking to finance the project long term in a way that is helps me create positive cashflow.

I did not come back to revisit this post from so long ago.I did not buy this property. 

I’m also open to exploring short-term rentals, private lending, or passive investing in funds—anything that maximizes returns while keeping risk and time commitments manageable.For context, I’d consider leaving my job if this could become a full-time venture that surpasses my current compensation (low-mid six figures).

Just in case.Ultimately whatever correlates with your future plans but a solid way to build long term wealth.

USUALLY a water department can tell you how long the water meter has been running constantly. 

So as long as I paid no issues.. and most of those I sold on wraps. when i started buying homes via sub to I did over 100 of them..

Dave,Sorry I took so long to respond. 

A lot of wholesalers are in the business of short term transactional deals where they can make $10k here and then never speak to the buyer again.

This is now used as a airbnb/mid-term rental.

I am a long term hold investor so that would likely be my play.Good luck Sean!
