I'm looking to just try it out and hear from the experiences of others first

We have a number of properties that have remained pretty consistent in rental income throughout that time. 

OPI would assess your fire potential first.  

The strategy I'm following for my first house hack is to acquire a multifamily property (duplex, triplex, quadplex) or SFH w/ an ADU (or potential for an ADU) as I am mainly looking to simultaneously acquire my first property and subsidize my mortgage payment.

Instead, we protected our investment by following our SOPs, verifying everything, and never assuming the first answer is the full story. 

It’s my first deal so I was kind of worried about it, but I feel more confident now about how to move forward with this property, as well as any future properties. 

When I go into quickbooks, I can generate profit & loss statements any which way I like for whatever time period I'm interested in and see how each property is performing.

Make sure the location is safe first.  1.
