I am in the process of looking for my first multi family. 

Hi all, I'm a Long Beach renter looking into the possibility of purchasing my first house. I'm looking for a cheaper and more sustainable option than renting and figured house hacking (buying a duplex) while rehabbing...

Some worry about the intent issue with the spouses hold time and choose to sell as the one individual and either buy as the one individual and quit claim after the 1031 is complete. 

I am trying to figure out how to leverage the equity to buy a small multi family to add to our current inventory.

I did get myself prequalified and the loan officer told me that I can only buy SFH and I need to stay there for min. 1 year before I can make it an investment property (this option is available for me if I decided to pay DP less than 20%).I am mostly interested in multi-family properties because I can either live in one unit and rent the other or rent both units out for cash flow purposes.

Be real cognizant to protected classes if denying a tenant on something you learn via a social media search.Note lying on an application is crystal clear reason for not choosing a potential tenant.

What’s the fastest way to get up and running with ~$10k cash for multi family property?

Here's the question: Is it a red flag if you find a city that has many multi-family listings that seem profitable, but has A LOT of listings city wide?
