Multi-family investing without 2% return

[Josh Dane]

I am new to this site and wanted to thank everyone for the help so far.
I am looking into purchasing a 3 flat or 4 unit home in Chicago. I would live in one unit and lease out the others (will qualify for FHA mortgage and put down 3.5%). However, I can't seem to find a place that follows the 2% rule (50 times gross monthly income = Purchase Price). Is this a bad investment then? I was hoping just to build equity (and hopefully some appreciation) in the home and sell in 5-10 years. I can't find any habitable multi-family homes in Chicago (at least the nicer neighborhoods) which follow the 2% rule. Am I missing something and should I not even consider this?
Thank you guys again.
