Seeking Advice - First Property

My partner and I decided to start investing in Real Estate but right now we live renting in Riverview, FL and we do not owned a house.

I told her that we should start buying a multifamily and do house hacking for one or two years and then buy our primary home and rent the whole multifamily.

Is that a good idea? Or should I stay living in rent and rent the multifamily from the begging? What advice can you all give so we can start? 

Thanks in advance!


P.S. We are going to get or finances in order before making the decision.

Yeah, house hack the biggest multi you can get yours hands on.

Living in the MF will allow owner occupied financing which is preferable.

That's exactly how my investing career took off.
