Multi Family Properties in Aurora/Denver Area

[Marc Spagnuolo]

Hello BiggerPockets Community!

I am interested in getting into a multi-family property for my first buy. I am wondering if this is a do-able goal for the Aurora/Denver area. It would be owner-occupied and I would be looking to use first time home buyer programs to get into it. 

How competitive is it for a first time home buyer? Should I focus more on a regular home or is there good deals to find out there that I could potentially get into as a newbie?

Trying to decide on a strategy to focus on. I know I want to house hack and I know I'm going to be using first time home buyer programs. Any input or advice in regards to helping me fine tune my focus would be appreciated.
