Connecting with local GC groups in your area will help you connect with subcontractors, find out tips and tricks of the trade in your local area (since all areas and their real estate differ slightly).Also, have you considered the motivation behind building a brand-new duplex versus finding one on the market?

I bought a brand new in the box $285 microwave off Facebook marketplace today for $35.  

Iintoo seems to be branding themselves well as someone who is knowledgeable and will only vet deals that are on point to succeed. 

In February I purchased a brand new 3 bed 3 bath duplex for 479k at 6.18%. 

Added brand new cabinets and granite countertops.

Here in Florida there are some opportunities to purchase a brand new home, cash flow, and minimize your capital expenditures for quite a while.

I'm building in a brand-new subdivision.

Have a big database, sellers who look up my brand/appeal.

Flipping a brand new home likely wouldn’t bring much profit - especially after having to close twice when you first buy it, and later sell it.Maybe you have millions to spend and I’m just missing the big picture… but when I think of “income” I’m usually thinking “net income” after you factor in expenses, like purchase price or building costs?
