Does not seem like a fun way to live.

The properties are often flawed and no well-suited for a family to live there long term (lot's of bedrooms, but tiny living room, no yard, no garage etc), that's why they sold for a discount an get used as STR.

@Jose Saladin Purchasing your sister’s home as a live-in rental offers instant equity (~$170K), tax benefits, and landlord experience, making it a solid first step into real estate investing.

I currently live Levittown and a house around the block from me is on the market for 1.5m.

Yes, House Hacking seems like the most ideal option when considering my first investment (open to other forms of ownership, such as live-in flips as well).

I'm currently living in Hawaii and I'm excited to enter the Detroit market and keep everyone updated along the way.

If you are living there you can keep the 4% rate.If you are not living there you can rent it out to pay for the property taxes. 

Life changes made it necessary to find a new living arrangement and if I'm going to move then why not buy and utilize financing for owner occupied multiplex?

I live and invest in Dover as well.
