Calling it quits, should I build my own duplex?

I’ve been looking for a duplex to do my first house hack, but everything is so expensive and the market is uncertain. I have a vacant lot in Fort Worth, Tx and have been thinking about building a modular duplex.

Modular because they tend to be cheaper than homes built on site and I can lower the cost quite a bit because I already own the lot of land.

Seems like I can get about $70/ square foot, not too bad for a 2000sq duplex.

Thoughts?
