First Time Buyer- MFH- Du vs Quad

Hi BP Community,

I am a first time buyer and looking to do my first deal. I started out with trying to acquire a quad but the prices deterred me in my area. Then I started looking at duplexes 40 to 50 miles outside of work.

My question is, would it be better to spend more and buy a quadplex or spend less on a duplex?

I am interested in improving my quality of life (socially) by moving to Sacramento. I am also interested in  buying and holding. 

It's challenging to find positive cash flow here (at least for me). I will be using a FHA loan.

Any advice?

Thanks
