As Warren Buffet says: “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.”On the bright side, as with any market shift, new opportunities are arising--and it's our role to identify those opportunities and pursue them in a professional, calculated, and conservative manner.Personally, I'm still working on trying to figure out my own next step, but I think I'm closing in on a few prospects...As the Bear Grylls meme says: "Improvise.

EPA, storm pond, 2 acres doesn't seem like much to put 6 duplexes on-  parking, driveways, setbacks, landscaping, fences, soil test, fire hydrants, survey, etc. 

Your situation is probably similar, so you should just assume those would be your costs to bear (and that doesn't include employee co-pays or deductibles). $100k/year is not a ton of money any more for a family. 10 rentals netting 10k/year gets you that, gross (because you still have to pay your own taxes from that income).
