The plan is to sell primary residence in order to have the equity in cash and utilize that cash to fund the multi family purchase and have operating capital. 

Me 21 and my husband 24 are looking to start investing in multi family, our plan is to buy 3 or 4 unit properties, live in one unit and rent out the others one year at a time until we have a cash flow good enough to quit our jobs and have children.

Would i be able to avoid capital gains by selling it, then using  a 1031 exchange to buy a multi family unit that i plan to also occupy?

They have to plan in advance for vacation days and to coordinate with everyone.

We are considering purchasing property on the Southwest/Gulf side where we plan to live for the first year before transitioning the property into a rental, open to STR or LTR.We would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations you might have regarding hot neighborhoods in this market that are ideal for a strong ROI and investing within our budget.
