I would advise you to read some books so as to be familiar with strategiesHere are a fewSee if you can get a copy of The Millionnaire Real Estate Investor by Keller.The Slight Edge and Atomic Habits too.https://www.amazon.com/Building-Wealth-One-House-Time/dp/007...

I am working on a small development where I will sell a handful of residential lots, but I am also allowed to build 6 or so cabins for rentals as part of my farm and agritourism.

I suspect maybe something like Hagerstown or Cumberland, which yeah are Class D like markets with declining populations, high drug problems, no strong job base which leads to non paying tenants.

In Australia, at present the cost of vacant land is too high, the cost of labour to build is too high and the foreign investor market, which has driven our market for decades, is now under threat from government policy changes.

Building a 4,000-square-foot, three-story duplex with a 1,000-square-foot ADU could cost about $1.83 million, including construction and permits (excluding land).

You can also pull a list of cash buyers on a list building site like Prime Tracers.

The property's strong market demand made it an ideal candidate for a profitable fix-and-flip project.

When considering single-family homes (SFH) or small multifamily properties, it’s important to analyze rental demand, local property values, and rental rates to ensure you’re getting strong cash flow potential.

The market you are looking for should be one with strong population and job growth. 

You can make deals right now but everything we see requires strong negotiation.
