Duplex, Triplex, or Quad?

[Kyle Spinale]

I plan on moving out of my parents house sometime next fall. I don't want to get an apartment, I'd rather house hack. This will be my first real estate purchase, ever.

When it comes to small multifamily properties for first time buyers, is there a certain property that I should go with? Or should I go with whatever I can find the best deal?

I would prefer to buy a duplex, triplex, or quad because the financing is similar to getting a regular home mortgage.
