First Investment - Owner Occupant Investment Multi-Family - Raleigh Durham

[Account Closed]

I have read a lot of great articles here on investing in single family homes to multi-family homes. I do not have a home and I currently rent an apartment so it seems that my best choice would be do buy a multi-family unit. I would occupy one of the units while I rent out the others for income. 

Has anyone went this path with an investment property and what is your thoughts?
