So far I only have buy and hold multi unit properties.

My father used to own a 4-unit rental property in a location near a college campus for 20 years.

If you were able to get an uneven multi, with a 1-bed unit and a 3-bed unit, you could live in the 1-bed and still rent rooms in the other and be a bit detached from them.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

They may be easy and relatively inexpensive to add sub-meters for the secondary unit, or they may be significantly intertwined, making it much more costly to separate.

One unit on the second floor and one on the third floor.

Unit A is about 100 years old and Unit B is almost completely new.Pros:-The duplex is in a very desirable neighborhood with home value appreciation year over year at about 50+%-Rent is also in high demand within this area-Cash flows well even with high interest rates and increasing property taxes-Home is price below average cost per sq ft-The house has been renovated and some parts of it has been remodeledCons:-All issues are with Unit A, the 100 year old unit.

To start, we’d purchase a home (preferably a multi unit) so we could make it our primary for the first year, then move on and use it as a rental.

You said it was a 2 unit.

I had a conversation with them about it and repairs/maintenance are typically when someone is living in the unit and one (1) issue needs to be addressed.
