I am currently living with family, I was wanting to use my first time home buyer to purchase a multi-family for my first home and stay in a unit while renting the others to start gaining some passive income.

Am I correct that you are doing a house hack ex. buying multi-unit and living in one?

I identified a growing market with a lot of multifamily (Worcester MA) and moved out to that market to start house hacking and buying multis.

Especially since you don't live in SD anymore.Lastly, multi family units and apartment complexes simply offer greater economies of scale for maintenance and other expenses because it's more "doors" under one roof.

I'm seeing a lot of good opportunities in Cleveland recently for multi-family properties priced 90-120k that are renting out between $1,300 - $1,850+, it just depends on the types of neighborhoods you're looking to invest in.
