You will need to investigate on the property market before you can identify specific locations which have higher value gain through pricing and also renting.Explore different financing options according to your financial situation, such as FHA loans or renovation loans, based on your investment objectives.

I would suggest looking into a low down loan, preferably conventional over FHA.

One of the good tips I've come across is try to pair significant rent increases with improvements to the units to allow your tenant to see the value.

My plan will be to purchase a vacant land with cash and finance the home build through a private money loan.

Title company is asking for an Uninsured Title affadavit to refi out of a hard money loan.  

Know how to fund your buys (bank loans, personal loans).

Good thing you can make tons of small tweaks to your kitchen to improve the overall aesthetic without having to spend thousands.

You want to get the best loan you can.

Another reason to raise rents if you go to sell the property it will be harder for a new investor to get a DSCR loan because the rental income is not high enough for the purchase price.
