Everything I've purchased personally, including a recent 4-unit purchased last month, has been heavily cashflow negative initially and it usually takes a good amount of work to get it to cashflow or break even within a relatively short period of time....6-12 month approximately.

In short no change.Cash flow that was supposed to start in 2019, will now start "in a couple of years". 

I personally have a few SF rentals but would love to get into more of the MF or even possibly short term vacation rentals someday.

CPA vs EA vs Tax strategist and so forth.Long story short: it doesn't really matter.

I’m Frank, based in Northern NJ, where I invest in multifamily properties and short-term rentals.

Even now, I’ve got clients in Austin who started off focused on short-term rentals and suddenly found multifamily syndications more enticing after running the numbers and chatting with other savvy folks in my network.

The short answer is yes to MTR in multis, being respectful of the other tenants and the allotment of LTR, MTR, STR of the units.

I had a 1031 client who sold an apartment complex in Iowa and purchased five houses with me in Austin to use as short term and long term rentals.

Short-term rentals are great when cash flow is strong, but with profit margins shrinking, switching to a long-term rental could add some stability.
