Can't find good fourplex... should I build one instead?

[Roshan K.]

Hey BP!

So I live in OKC and I am in a conundrum. I want to househack, but I am having three issues. 

1) Very few fourplexes are on sale in OKC. I can generally find only 1 to 3 in a 50 mile radius.

2) Of those 1 to 3 fourplexes, I have never seen one that I would actually want to live in. Budget is not an issue, rather supply. I actually search with no upper limit on prices to ensure I don't miss any opportunity.

3) All of the fourplexes seem like they were made 30+ years ago and deferred maintenance is a huge problem here. 

In this scenario, would anyone know the pros/cons of building my own fourplex? I don't even know where I would get started. 

Thank you!
