Buying first property.. single family or multi-family?

[Justin Hayden]

Hi-

My wife and I are looking to buy our first property. I’m personally leaning towards a multi family home because I think it’s a great way to get started in real-estate while also having tenants pay for our mortgage. I want to start off with a multi-family 4 unit property. Should I lean towards a multi -family, or single family home as my wife’s and I’s first real-estate investment?

Thanks,

Justin
