what additional foundation, drainage, retaining wall issues should I be aware of?

You want a STR that can function, at least somewhat, as a LTR.You want a lease-purchase-option property that can function as a LTR or STR.You want a flip that could function as a LTRThat way if some pesky government farmer comes and jams up your hole, you just pop up one of the others and survive.

I have $120,000 in cash burning a hole in my pocket and I'm looking to invest it.

Trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole doesn’t work.  

Will you dig a hole to put it in or will it be like an above ground pool?

A key inspection to make is having the drainage (storm and sewer) lines camera inspected.

Its advised to monitor any future damage and exterior water drainage.
