I would like to build a duplex on it for long term rental income.

During a recent conversation, the following question came up:------------------------------------------------------------------------"The question is:You buy a 'new build' house.

I assume a higher upfront cost as far as land purchase and the actual build but you would have a brand new house, instant equity and hopefully maintenance free for quite a while.

Currently have a small rental sfh on a lot that can clearly build at least a 4 unit on it.

At a high level, the system ingests raw documents from the recorder's offices, building permits, zoning permits, market data, and other auxiliary datasets.

Market might be competitive but there is angles to stand out depending on what you are comfortable and able to handle, such as waiving an appraisal contingency, limitng inspection rights and time frames, closing time frames, allowing seller to stay-post closing, taking on difficult tenants, buying properties that might need repairs, etc.

I'm in Columbus Ohio and we ahve to build the same floorplan over and over and it's a group heard mentality. we build a three story walk up triplex designed for our infill lots

Sheathing inspection was a pass. 

We work closely with the listing agent to get documentation and we start making aggressive, contingent offers on replacement properties as soon as the inspection contingency closes on the sale. 

They provide fake checklists saying units are repaired according to agreed-upon inspection reports only to walk in to a home that is more damaged than it was during escrow.
