I would suggest driving for dollars in the area as well as Popping into The Barn and asking the real estate developers who own that building and office on the lower level if they know of anything.

For the past two months I have been working for a development/construction company in Baltimore.

I assume the house is in nice shape/comparable to other 2/1s in the area?

I personally have a vision of where my real estate investment company is going to be in the future, so I'm developing a plan and path based off where I intend to be in the future.  

This buyer wants to do his first flip and has years of real estate development experience in his professional day job.

The listing agent had a "ridiculous" assertion that you could build a 2-3 story mixed use development on the land.  

@Tabitha Johnson @Michael Plante,  Nice work on your seller-financed deal Michael.  70% of the deals that I do have 50% or more seller financing involved.  

Nice work.  

So, if your community is growing in population, your market is underserved and you are maintaining nice properties with rents below $1200 you probably have little to worry about.
