Getting my foot in the door for Multifamily housing

[Treven Jennice]

I am extremely new to all this and the site, i would however like to start learning more and eventually invest in a duplex, or at most 4 plex, not sure on wording yet, and i would probably end up living in one of the parts and rent the others. 

What are some good books or guides to read on, and information should i familiarize myself with as of now, like legal documents and standings.

The location i am looking to start out in is Ohio, the columbus area or around there, since this is where i will be living after i get out of the military.

Thanks for any information and help.

Welcome to BP!  There is a ton of information on the site which, in my opinion anyway, is better than you will find in most books.  I would suggest starting out in the Learn section of the site with the How To Guides.  The BP Podcasts are also an excellent source of information.  The investing style you are thinking of doing is referred to as  "House Hacking", at least here on BP.  Type that into the search box and you will see lots of results, including a couple of podcasts.
