First time home buyer and real estate investor

[Emmanuel Lopez]

Because I started my own business and had to show two years of positive income within the business my wife and I had to hold off on buying our first house. Now that we are ready i have also been educating myself in real estate investing. I want to invest into multi families but also want to buy our first house. What would be the best way to go about this? Will buying my first house limit my chances to qualify for that multi family and any other that come along the way? For all those with experience I welcome and appreciate your opinion. Thank you
