Hello all! I am looking for advice. I am looking to purchase my first home and obviously want to make it some type of investment. I am debating between buying a live-in flip or a 2,3,4 unit apartment complex and living in one of those units. Does anyone have any advice? What to look out for/avoid? I live in suburban Philadelphia. Thank you everyone!! Phil

Go for a 4 unit!

Depends on if you want cash or rental estate.
