Follow up with the commercial brokers and get a value for the properties OP. I would follow a couple different angles and go from there.
Once you have your value if you sold it, take some time and honestly ask yourself if you had that money if this is something you would buy. If you wouldn't buy it, you should strongly consider selling it considering your lack of experience.
Worst case scenario here: You quit teaching, get a loan to rebuild the land, and it costs more than you expect and bankrupts you. Unlikely, but you need to be honest.
You should also consider renting it through a broker. If brokers aren't interested, that maybe a sign its not worth much. If its a slam dunk for someone they are going to jump on it.
VPD is only one aspect and pertains more to certain types of business, like retail and food service. Something like construction, logistics, etc. a central location off a busy street maybe more important then a busy street.

Thanks for the input, while I do think they're both movable, maybe not quickly, but in a few months, I just hate selling and buying some regular rental properties with a 1031 exchange because this big property just seems to have so much potential being over 2 acres on a decently busy road, warehouses, self storage, apartment complex all around it. I guess I just feel like if I can teach myself, and I'm a decently smart person, physics teacher here, I feel like it can do something life altering money wise that just regular rentals wouldn't do.
It's just the figuring out the best course of action part that I've never been a part of with RE.
