He's also a close friend now, but at the time he made real estate investing sound so interesting, but also feasible.     

This will help you understand what tenants value (and what they're willing and not willing to pay more rent for). ...of course, some tenants will suggest things that just aren't feasible or advisable from an investment standpoint (most tenants would love an in-ground pool or a hot tub, but in most cases, that would be a bad investment).

An architect has offered to run through the zoning for the property, advise how many units could feasibly be built, tell us how many ADUs can be built, etc., and run through a projected cost benefit analysis of the different options.

Is this a feasible undertaking for myself?

Yet, I’ve been wondering how feasible starting with a larger multi family complex would be, am I dreaming too big?

If you get serious about building you will ultimately need a feasibility study completed and they will provide that information.Your other question was about how close one self storage facility can be to another.

That hardly seems feasible when you are just starting out.  

A duplex or triplex that is a 2 bed 2 bath may be more feasible on Thomas dr. 

First step is that you need to investigate the feasibility of the rezoning R2 to R1.

Is it feasible?
