Tax-Free WealthI hope you find these valuable! 

I am eager to absorb knowledge, gain insights, and build valuable relationships in the industry.

My wife and I were gifted a .25 acre lot to build on in Lehigh Acres by her parents with the idea to build a duplex as we have no interest in living there.

I would start focusing my energy on building relationships and finding deals 

I've been too busy rehabbing my 3 unit apartment building to really focus on anything else.But nonetheless, I have been keeping up with my less-than-professional deal pipeline.My first question regarding this involves raising capital to invest in deals.

New construction around here starts between 500-700k, but nobody builds in Milwaukee proper, its all in the suburbs.

First, as a new investor your goal really shouldn't be to collect cash flow, you want to be building as much equity as quickly as possible.

Make sure the space meets local building codes and safety standards.Market Research: Research rental prices in your area to determine how much you can charge for the basement apartment.

Maintaining a good relationship with a reliable tenant is often more valuable than the cost of appliance replacement.Hope this helps, and best of luck!

Build your own spreadsheets, do comparisons until you're blue in the face, walk neighborhoods until you're crippled.
