Basically, the money used in this type of financing comes from "Wall Street".

If you can house hack a duplex / triplex / quad locally, I highly suggest it.

The dog bit into the blinds, broke the TP holder off the wall, and scratched up the door and frame.

That one and a duplex off market sitting right next to it are right at the edge of a B neighborhood and going into a B-/C+.

Welcome @Sean Quinn Being in Sheboygan, you're in a market with great opportunities for SFHs, duplexes, and fourplexes.

If you talk to someone like the folks at Wren Insurance Agency (from what I read in the Wall Street Journal), you’ll find they’ve been adapting to the shifting market conditions with some interesting coverage options.

I recently moved an electrical panel for one unit of a duplex.  

Quote from @Jaron Walling: I bought my first house and got into REI for control, stability, and the opportunity to solve problems. 

Vetting the tenants and following local laws is extremely important.If you don't own a primary residence, would you consider house hacking (buy a single family and rent out the rooms or a duplex and live in one side/rent the other?

@Jackson Harris as long as your definition of MF is duplex, triplex or quads AND your willing to live in some of the tougher (or at least, less desirable) neighborhoods AND you have patience your plan can work.
