Traditionally I have sold the builder land and loaned him the money to buy the land and build the house with us splitting up the profits when it sold. 

I was thinking I want to find a duplex that has land and allows for building of more units on the property.

I will also note that the RC zoning district allows for quite a few extra units so you would get the best use out of your land by building a quadplex or something like that.if you are interested in going forward though I work part time at NOLA builds in town and they do great work for construction at all levels.feel free to reach out if you have more questions 

Here is a checklist for land investing. 

Newer investors will not understand that if they don't hit a few base hits and get the ball rolling. 

We are purchasing some land and are looking to build duplexes in the next 6-12 months.

Here are the playersMe - OwnerOG Developer - Original Developer that improved property before I purchasedNew Developer - New Developer currently building a new subdivisionWater District - Own the vacant land that my sewer line runs acrossCity - Well, The cityTimeline:2007 - OG developer purchases large 1 acre lot with an existing house with the intent to subdivide and create a small PUD.2008 - Improvements are made (new street, sewerlines, storm, power, water) are brought into the subdivision. 

If after all expenses it cashflows then yea that would be the best option for you'll be able to sell the land, if it doesn't then hookups might be a better option (With the big assumption that there is demand for that in that area)
