I was able to get permits and in the end will have a very unique product, but it wasn't cheap. 

Every situation is unique.

Then, start attending networking events (virtually of course) and start as many conversations as you can with the goal of finding an experienced professional that you can help with your unique skill set. 

I wanted to build a unique structure, but the city prevented me from doing so, so I decided to build a duplex on a lot I had.

Philadelphia is a unique city as it has tax returns unique to the city.Are you open to working with an accountant remotely?

Many here will object to that, but....it can lead to a good deal on a lower commission property because the majority of agents don’t show that property, which leads to less competition....it has worked out well a couple of times for my clients. 

Consider your own unique strengths, weaknesses, and goals and whether those are liable to help you or hurt you in any particular field.

While the grass may not always be greener I wanted to begin building my team as mentioned by @davidgreene in the long distance real estate book but outside of that, are there any investors currently in Dover that wouldn't mind sharing any wisdom that's unique to the area?

The buildings are unique, old, all different.
