What's the best multi family home to start with?

[Isaiah Lopez]

Hello professionals and those who love sharing knowledge and experience. Me and my partner are both working hard educating ourselfs and looking to start soon.... But we both have road block because we aren't sure on what would be a financially good decision when it comes to what type of multi family we should purchase. Right now I am wanting on focusing for a 4-plex unit. He wants to start with a duplex.., financially because of mortgage costs, is a 4-plex too risky? Thank you everyone for taking the time to read and comment. Please only positive & honest comments.,...Thanks everyone! :)
