Buying and selling raw land for profit

[Adam Hensel]

Hello, and although a day early Happy 2018 to everyone!  A new member as of this morning.  I'm interested in starting a side gig flipping raw land - I know, a lot to learn before getting started.  I've poked around the internet and have come across RETipster's, The Land Academy's, and The Land Geek's websites.  I find this model of investing interesting but it is really viable?  Would love to get thoughts and opinions.  I've searched the communities on BiggerPockets and I don't see a lot of posts on this topic - and that one's that I have found seem a bit dated, a year to 2 years old.  Is land flipping still a viable strategy for 2018?  Also, and recommendations on which States and Counties are currently good markets to focus on?  Thanks in advance.
