The development i'm talking about is taking raw/un-entitled land and turning it into a larger development with finished homes/townhomes/multifamily.For example, we have a few projects (40-50 acres) that we've been working on for over two years that have another 6-8 months until we are able to move dirt.

You can find some deals on the market, but they are definitely the lowest hanging fruit and always attract a lot of attention.

I just don't know how much.genuinely open to your perspective and hoping to start a potentially fruitful dialogue. 

Mainly raw land with utilities already on site, or properties that have been vacant for 10+ years, that would be a 50/50 on demo or rehab.The other fun fact that I learned at the sale:  the tax foreclosure only wipes out the tax included in the judgement years.

A municipality will not accept a DIY flashy app-produced drawing in its raw form.

I have a STR that we converted to Mid Term (we still allow short term), but marketing it for mid term (monthly rentals) has been more fruitful for us vs SRT.   

Don't go for low hanging fruit. 

If you ever get sued, and a contingency based attorney looks at your property, and doesn't see a note attached, that is a low hanging, ripe fruit.

I have 2 ground partners this year that quit there day jobs BECAUSE they do all the WORK and risked their time... both on track to make 100s of thousands this year.. and I will make 100's of thousands from the fruits of their labor... or they could just keep working were they were working and doing a deal a year or so...

I'm not going there because it too would be a complete waste of time and money, but if you are really wanting to "catch a bad guy", that might be a more fruitful route.
