Prices for starter homes are crowding out millennials

That all makes perfect sense. For a moment I thought you were referring more to the NAR (market) than the tax regime/REIT side of things.

As a millenial with hope of some sort of real estate in my future, I've been thinking of buying an empty/distressed lot and rebuilding it, but I don't know how realistic that is.

Very reasonable. I've done this before. Let me know if you'd like to chat over email, and I'll get you my contact info.

I've been thinking about this, as well, and would be interested to see your thoughts on it, even if just a cut and paste of your advice to ak217. My email is brerlapn at fastmail.fm. Much appreciated...
