Hello,I have noticed that more and more property managers are charging tenants ~2-3% of rent + $30 as admin fee/resident package/utility package.

Honestly, I had to pull up a US map to even remember where the heck Arkansas is.

Median-priced homes will attract the highest percentage of qualified residents looking for rentals and the highest percentage of owner-occupied home buyers in the future. 

IMO this is much too little additional return to put your personal residence at risk.  

@Steven Hamilton II I want to mention that My husband and I both reside in California, and I manage the property remotely from California via Zoom calls, and also physically visits the property.

I don't know your living situation but if your paying x,xxx for rent or a mortgage and instead by living in one side and renting out the other you will be paying y,yyy instead and y is less then x that's great, especially if you can rent out your primary residence and make income there too. 

Yes, that is what I meant by securities, not sure what else that term applies to honestly.

Again, to reiterate, the risk is less burdened because the property also serves as your primary residence.

@Kris TohovitisI wouldn't recommend using your cash to pay off the mortgage on your primary residence since you can likely get a better return on that money by investing it.What's your buying criteria for the multi-family property?

To be honest, I have been really happy with the person who has been helping me, but there's an issue with capacity because she is a full-time employee somewhere else and I believe a single mom.
