Hello, my name is Kyle Hardie and I live in Fairmont MN. 

Will be difficult because you currently live in the property . is the 2nd unit livable and just looking to renovate ? 

Outside of real estate, I enjoy Working out, training my German shepherd, and traveling with my family.

The people within your subdivision may sell the house for you, as they may have family/friends who want to live close to them, and people are always intrigued by new construction in their neighborhood. 

By no means cheap but solid rent + demand, fun place to live, decent inventory (relatively speaking), and is still commutable to the city. 

Where you live in relation to the investment property shouldn't matter.

I grew up near San Francisco and moved to Reno, NV to live and house hack. 

I live in a very expensive market (Seattle, WA) and I am looking to invest out of State.

I'm planning on buying a small multifamily first and foremost so I have a place to live and then will either buy a single family or another multi family depending on what I can find/fits my criteria at the time.

What is the quickest and most feasible way to transition from living there to setting up this house for passive income: leaving a property manager or somebody to take care of it!
