My background in technology (ssserv.com) provides marketing and branding experience for lead generation. 

At 1.3% that property generates $3,250, or about 1000-1100 per unit - totally feasible.

Over the last few years of acquiring properties (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/790712-turned-30-own-12-units-generating-an-average-13-cap-rate) my lead traffic for vacant become a mess...

@John Kelleyreally depends on exact location, current zoning, what type of demand generators in the area, what’s around it etc...lots of questions to determine highest and best use.

It is half of my grandparents original estate that's been in the family for generations.

It's a trope, but real estate is a relationship business that compounds on itself as you generate more and more happy customers.So keep your job and save up for that 6 months' savings that @Gregory Schwartz called out - that's a pretty standard figure for about how long it takes to see any sort of money coming in. 

The cost of constructing an additional 7 units is between $1.3-1.4M and would generate a projected $118,000 annual rent for a total of $210,000. 

I was also told by random friends and family that I should write off my electricity bills and water bills but I feel like I'm getting bad advice there?

How are you setting up your website to generate leads in multiple markets?

I work full time as an electrical fitter , and my goal is to build my property portfolio over time and generate enough cashflow to match my income .
