How Difficult to House Hack A Multiplex?

[Cody Evans]

Hi Guys and Gals, 

I keep revisiting this topic and am trying to find the best mechanism to get a deal like the one I describe below:

I live in Northern California and want to move into a multiplex for my first property. I figure I can make a profit off of the place I live in which eliminates my biggest personal finance expense amd actually makes it an assett. I figure I can fix issues myself on the property to save some money and also get to know exactly what my tenants are doing. Then if I eventually get tired of living there I can just get a new home and rent out the unit. Sounds simple right? But what is the best way to find these and get a deal off them? I am wholesaling right now and it is so hard to get leads and deals so I am puzzled as to what I can do here
