I do plan on living in one of the units if the property is in a good location.

You need to decide on the location.

If you're a prospective buyer of a multi-family unit, here's another tip you might find useful when you're kicking the tires on a prospective property.Don't just look at the currently occupancy, check the eviction filings for that property address (it is probably public record at the courthouse - depending on where you're located). 

I am a father of two young boys, the husband of a beautiful woman, a veteran of the US Navy and a Commercial General Contractor located in Broward County, Florida.

What sites or sources are you using to find where these opportunity zones are located and the potential buying opportunities within them?

I'm located in Nebraska, where if they decide not to pay their bill the city can place a lien on the home. 

I'm located on the north side of Chicago and I'd love to talk with you about multi-family unit investments. 

To piggyback off what Jonathan said, try looking for places and locations that you wouldn't mind renting yourself.   

I am located in Fort Worth, TX & my end goal as a real estate investor is to have a 100 door rental portfolio consisting of small 8-20 unit apartment complexes.My plan is to build up a rental portfolio, starting with 2-4 unit properties, & eventually sell those to leverage for larger properties.

People pick where to live because of location. as a past realtor and current Painting contractor I can say don't ask would i live in it ask who would and what do they need. always put yourself in a place where it is easy for you to help. ask where do i need to go how can help then when can I start.
