A manager will roughly cost $100-$150 a month to take over a unit (it could be more or less in your market) and manage the units.

In this case, you can use Rental Income from the units that you will not be living in and that income can count to help you qualify.FHA rates are going to be lower than conventional for you almost always, but FHA does have a 1.75% funding fee.
