Instead, you need to convert it to cash flow.

I don't think it's worth trying to sue the county over 6k, it may cost more in legal fees.This was my first flip and it has been a school of hard knocks. 

There are lots of ways you could do this, but the execution is largely up to you.Most of the private lenders I have worked with were experienced real estate investors themselves with excess cash they wanted to put to work. 

The Property is worth around $425,000.

Cash out refinances of existing properties might be a great option depending on how those parameters look within your portfolio.

Might be worth paying for an inspection from one of them during DD if you're concerned about it. 

Purchase price: $440,000 Cash invested: $20,000 4bed 2.5 bath 1811sq ft - New build from D.R.

I'd also recommend dumping the garages there's almost a total loss on that unless you are putting units above them on a dense infill lot for additional units it's not worth the cost of construction. build cost is pretty high for your market for three story suburban walk ups. we could never build at that price and make any money. suburban sells for 160k a door in our market with land. get on yardi make sure you Arne't going to lose money on it.

If I buy my home in Michigan first that cash flows, I can save that money and buy the Florida property as soon as I have enough saved.

But if it's a single-family home in a remote area, it might make sense because they need to make it worth their while to manage.
