I am planning to buy a Single Family home by the end of the year and intend on "house hacking" (roommates).

You can get that experience by working for a commercial real estate developer / owner / operator

About This Market: Parma, Ohio, boasts a stable population driven by affordable housing prices relative to national averages.

I actually did that the other day, and I'm waiting for the meetup to be approved by the site admin.

We actually drove by this house earlier this month when we were in town. 

Generally "multifamily" in real estate will tend to mean 5+ units, but if looking for 2-4 units your current options that you listed are pretty good - but would not apply to anything bigger by unit count

She is getting a 1.46 multiple over 4 years , so 1.46 X to the Y 0.25 equals 10% compounded annual return, which should be totally covered by depreciation so that's an effective yield of 16% if in top bracket.
