However, not one general location is going to help you determine whether it's a good market for multi family or single family etc.The one true way to start looking into a market is talking to an agent who knows the area.

Given the property is located in the Poconos and the property is vacant more regularly as an STR there are proactive measures  you should  be taking such as making sure there are heating sources so that the plumbing does not freeze and ensuring there are no blocks in the plumbing lines with routine checks.

What market is it located in?

Seeing as they are $45-80k properties, we know they are not in good locations which means you should pad your budget more and expect expenses to be higher than normal. 

Portsmouth, known for its historic charm, offers higher prices but strong demand for both multifamily properties and short-term rentals, with premium rental rates for well-located properties.

Personally I like the Section 8 program when the property is located in a super poor area with a ton of blight and crime.

While there are some markets I feel are so saturated it is near impossible to be successful in todays market (Orlando), in most competitive markets you can be successful if a) have reasonable expectations and b) do everything right (price, location, pro design, pro photos, etc etc). 

I didn’t see your location in your profile or your post, but assume at least 17% state/federal taxes leaves you with $10k/yr. 

Idk if I like this tertiary of a location way outside of DFW.

There are more factors than just the community (#beds, level of theming, location to the amenities, style of home (single family, townhome, condo) and others) But I would strongly advise to stay within some of the same communities you mentioned like Storey Lake, Windsor Hills, Championsgate and a few others if cash flow is your goal.
