Brandon Turner put a book out on this topic I think it was called the Complete guide to rentals or something like that and I think it describes his screening process. 

Which leads to a series of additional steps, like annexation, zoning, densities, utilities (water, sewer, electric) and entitlements.A real estate developer is your best bet as a resource to conduct the initial due diligence and go into a deeper dive to define the project or projects best suited for the property.

Maybe even provide them with resources and materials.

Thanks everyone for sharing your insights, they have been very helpful in guiding my research the past couple days!
