How to analyze a live-in flip/rental investment property

[Chris Allen]

Hey there everyone, I am currently looking to buy my first house which will probably be a single family since I have not found any multi-family for sell. I want this property to be an investment and I plan to live in this property for a couple of years before moving out. I ultimately would like to keep it as a rental, but am also analyzing as a fix and flip. Any suggestions on if I still need to hold steadfast to the 70% rule if I plan to live in it for a few years but it may make sense as a rental even at a higher purchase price? Any advice would help.
