First home purchase. Want income producing property. Need advise.

[Mario Medina]

This will be my first purchase, currently in the approval process. I would like this property to pay for itself while providing me a home for my family. Ive thought about fourplex, live in 1 rent the others. Or a home with many rooms and maybe a guest house for me to live and offer an assisted living home to rent by the room. In any situation i would like some strategy that is proven and replicable. I appreciate your input. Tucson, az.
