@Von Wilson you could ask the developer next door to partner with you and have them build on your property.  

You can also build a single family home or a 2-4 unit multifamily so its really up to you and what you are looking to accomplish.

It has been my life's mission to build my own duplex, house hack it & use it to catalyze the BRRR cycle.As I get closer to breaking ground on the project, I'm still not 100% confident in it's feasibility due to the costs of land & construction considering it is mandatory to secure an appraisal 20% above build & land cost. 

Quote from @Delton Friedman: Hi Everyone, I have been looking at building a duplex to rent in the Houston area, but I am not sure how to start. 

Looking to build an ADU on my property, considering buying a prefab or having a contractor building it.

I am exploring the possibility of purchasing an off market plot of land, building a modular home, and then selling it.

I am looking for my second rental, BP has gotten me in touch with some really great folks in the Rent to Build space and I am researching that in the Ocala/Inverness and Jacksonville areas. 

Quote from @Devin James: We're actively looking at new building plans for future buildsHere some things we're considering while balancing design, cost, and functionality.1) Cost to build – Simple rooflines, efficient use of space, and minimal wasted square footage.2) Functionality – Does the layout actually make sense for how people live?

Even so I don't know if you will start learning about all the old building problems if your place is relatively new. 

Build out the network for GCs in your area and start to bid jobs, then you can build out how much each job would cost.
