NOT living in first rental property first deal

I understand that living in the property for your first deal helps the bank give you a loan easier for your first deal, I was wondering if anybody has experience just, going straight into buying a multi family residential property right off that bat without living it and renting all the units out, the reason I ask this is that, I live in Austin TX and work full time there, the multifamily prices are pretty expensive, so I was wo dering about buying in Kyle or San Marco's, maybe get a cheaper multi family unit there and treat as a separate project. anybody got any pointers? thanks!
