 Awesome Brittany! Best thing to do is to start looking at properties and driving past them. The most multi-family properties here in town are in 43201 (Parts of Italian Village, Parts of Victorian Village, OSU Campus), 43202 (OSU Campus and Old North), and 43206 (German Village, Schumacher Place, Merion Village, Nationwide Children's area). I'd encourage you to drive around in these areas as well as many others. Multifamily can be great for 1-4 units and you can get very favorable financing as an owner occupant. 

Good luck and welcome to the forums! I was just like you a few years ago buying my first multifamily property to live in. We are a local real estate team specializing in investment sales. Hope this helps you start!
