I’ve realized I need additional help—someone local, like an assistant.Here’s my idea: I was thinking of purchasing a small piece of property and putting something modest on it, like a single-wide home or a similar small structure.

Additionally, if there are any contractors in the Fort Lauderdale area who can provide an estimate or guidance on this type of conversion, I’d really appreciate the connection!

My biggest concern is managing additional units and tenants.

Additionally, it's a good idea to connect with a Property Manager early on.

So the major issues in a house are a foundation issue or a structural issue, the next tier down would be a mechanical issue like Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, then roof - which isn;t an issue a new roof is very common in a fix n flip, and then the outside facade: Brick repair, driveway repair, brick pointing. 

FHA now allows us to count rental income from an ADU (additional dwelling unit) to help borrowers qualify.

Also, you will have additional occupancy tax depending whether you are in the city limits or not.
