Create like a multi purpose use of the space so somebody can use that room as their living room and also their bedroom.

Additionally, I am willing to live in one of the units for a year.My long-term vision is to buy everyone out and eventually own the property entirely.What are some common deal structures I can explore based on my contributions and end goal?

Caleb, we should connect and have a conversation.

Your lease or statute may address this, but this is clearly endangering the lives of fellow tenants in the building, which is non-curable.

If I rent it, it won't cash flow more than 2%, which is sort of ok as my goals is creating a portfolio of additional income for retirement (12 years from now)  If I sell it I will likley lose a little money ($5-$10k) I Used a VA loan to purchase zero down and will be living in it for 24 months while I do the rehab.purchase price $330K, rehab $15k, Estimated ARV is $370k.  

Would prefer to invest instead of own the home I live in.I've have had it suggested that to get started, I should buy a property that is under 100k in cash. 

You will get pushback from GCs on this so be prepared to obtain several estimates and have several conversations before finding the one you ultimately hire.3.

I live in the Portland metro area and I am looking at investing into a multifamily, or singlefamily home I can house hack and eventually turn into a rental.

It's also important to understand local landlord-tenant laws since they can dictate how much you can raise the rent and the notice period you need to provide.Once you have that info, have an open and honest conversation with the tenant.

I live in Portland metro and please avoid multnomah county when buying a property.
