i want to end up in multi family homes in the long run, but i have no money down, no money for vacancy,repairs,rehab, etc.. my idea was to start with a single family home(easier) with good equity, live in it. but fix it up a little & house hack to pay my mortgage. then a year or two down the road pull out the equity or even sell and purchase a multi family home that way ill have more money to back me up. how does that sound as a first investment? 

If you have enough time, the same platforms that everyone (PM included) used to list can give you a pretty good idea.

I like that idea.  

Have a talk with the building inspector involved to get an idea of their attitude.

Thank you Ed, I think pulling some money out and keeping the property is a good idea.
