Investing in your position is a laughable idea.

My last purchase i am up ~$1m working it very part-time over the last 3 years and i have some small (for the equity position, ~3k/month) cash flow.  

It has enabled me to maintain positive relationships with residents, staff, and investors.

Found this opportunity appealing based on positive cashflow/favorable cash-on-cash return.

Quote from @Julian De la Guardia: Hey Tim,House hacking is not just a good idea; it's a fantastic strategy for someone in your position.

I would be careful about doing something in an effort to "make positive cash flow".Section 8 has its pros but there are an equal number of drawbacks.

However, as @Chad Hale mentioned, only if you can afford it - meaning both financially and mentally (e.g. how stable are both of your jobs, how long will it take you or your husband to find a replacement job, how much you have in reserves, and whether you guys are in a position to withstand that mental stress, etc.)When you mention 8k monthly, I am assuming that's net profit?

Only by reviewing past buy/walk decisions and market decisions will I be able to hone my chops for future decisions.

I think there is almost no reason for you to say that it is too complicated when something like a 203k loan can get me a multi family house for a lower interest rate and lower down payment while still being cash flow positive.

So if you are going to be a host that outperforms your competitors and want to get fabulous reviews, there isn’t complete down time if you are self managing at the highest level.
