I'm looking for advice on what I should choose. 

say you find a solid property in a low cost market for $200K and you buy it.between down payment, closing costs, rent ready / spruce up costs, and lease-up costs, you're probably going to need at least 50-65K in cash. 

@Rafael Ramos All your goals contradict each other:(1) Cashflow: buy Class C & D properties2) Appreciation: buy Class A & B properties3) Low Crime: buy Class A & B properties4) Why would you want your investments to lose money to lower your taxes?

You may have an advantage since there is very low deal volume in your area, and may have multiple bidders.Good luckGino

@Audris Tien, it is very hard to tell, depending on how the capital raiser chooses to present it.  

Should I price the land 2 times above market value and offer a low interest rateORPrice the land at current market and use a very high rate?

Common sources of such properties include:Foreclosures: Homes that have been repossessed by banks due to non-payment.Distressed Properties: Homes that are in poor condition and need a lot of work.Auctions: Properties sold at auction for below market value.Off-market Deals: Properties that aren't listed on the MLS but are available for sale through direct outreach or networking.The key is to buy a property at a price low enough to ensure that even after renovations, the home will appraise for a higher value.2.

HABD SAFMR states that a 2/1 with 2 people in property’s zipcode on voucher maxes out at $1356, current rent is $779, and when I search for comps on multiple platforms I see the low range being $860 and higher end of median $1150.

For example, if she can't visit the property, is she good at record keeping (so everything is organized at tax time) or finding vendors, comparing product prices, finding free or low cost items on Facebook marketplace to improve the rental)3. emergency fund.
