At my peak I was making more than the vice president of the company.

I think you’d be fine doing both in one year but if not, worst case scenario is you hang tight and buy the apartment and wait until you can buy the SFR for yourself down the road, or vice versa.

The less you put down, the less your cash flow and vice versa. 

I find often the investor doesn't qualify the broker/agent and vice versa.

Many contracts will have waivers of subrogation and/or hold harmless verbiage preventing you to make claim against the PM company and vice versa; it sounds like the contract is very basic from comments. 

The MLS out here is are for people looking to pay market price, if you are looking for something closer to 1% rule (purchase @100k rent for 1k or .7%-.8 vice purchase @500k rent 2100 best case is 2100+1400/500k=.007% ) there are many investors that could get you better deal than that one from the looks of it.  

Each investor has their own criteria for investing, what is the "best" for me, may not be for you and vice versa.

You should tell the realtor what you want, not vice-versa.However, he is right about one thing, most great deals are not found on the MLS.

@David RonkaI manage really estate for a bank and can tell you that from experience $10k to make it market ready for retail or restaurant seems awfully low, unless you're just demo'ing teller counters, coupon booths, partitions, etc.Doesn't sound like there's a vault but if there was that could easily cost up to $100k to remove.Going from a bank layout to traditional retail/restaurant (or vice versa) - if not evaluated prudently - can be cost prohibitive in your deal.
