I currently owner occupy one three family property and plan to purchase more rentals in the future.

Wouldn’t it being an investment property already mean it would result in higher rates than a owner occupied property?

Lifestyle-wise we are not interested in house-hacking, but with the right multifamily unit we could owner occupy and be happy.

I would like to acquire the next 3-4 properties using owner occupied financing where I will live at the property for 1 year, then convert it into a full rental, and buy another property to live in, and repeat that a few times. 

You are correct in that it is an owner-occupied loan, so you must intend to live in it.

Since you occupied it over 2 years You can sell it fully tax free if you do so before it has been a rental for a total of 3 years (you didn't give exact dates).

If I was single I’d buy Fourplexes as owner occupied every year.
