Has anyone paid cash for land & build a triplex & house hacked?

[Allan Guerra]

I am seriously thinking of starting in real estate by buying land in cash and having a duplex, triplex or fourplex built on it through a loan from a construction company, and house hack by living in one of the units while renting out the others. What tips, do's or don'ts can anyone give me while doing this. Will this be too much for a beginner? Your responses/experiences would be much appreciated. Thank you.
