building new duplex with intent to house hack, worth it or not?

[Tristan Crawford-Lee]

I am looking to make my first step into real estate investing in a year two by building a new duplex in the Lehigh acres area of Florida. I plan to build versus buy because Im currently working for my father, who is a general contractor in Fl, and will save on the construction costs because I can do most of the work for little cost other than materials. it would be minimum labor cost and no profit cost from contractor. I plan to build a duplex with approximated 800 sq ft units, 2 bd 2 baths each. My question is do more experienced real estate investors see this as a good starting investment idea?
