Im under the understanding that you cannot log multi unless its with a flight instructor. Im going to go digging in the FAR/AIM to see if i can find anything.

You are correct. You cannot log multi time unless you are with a certificated flight instructor (or for any aircraft for which you do not hold the appropriate category, class, and type [if required] certificate). In addition, if the flight is under a part 135 or 121 operation (meaning it's a commercial flight for hire) you technically can't log time unless you fit the minimum hour and commercial certificate requirements for that operation (and that operator).

Not saying it doesn't happen, though.
