I plan to live in unit 1002. 

Considering that there are people living there already, it has a potential tenant (of course I understand the potential pitfalls there as well). 

Are you living in Aspen now or are you commuting from down valley?

While living in the other unit, I invested $5,000 in renovations and later found a roommate paying $750.

The paid off student rental plus the 2nd student rental helps pays off the mortage for 2nd student rentals and living expenses for me and my wife. the duplex was  cash flowing approx  $300 month with the old tenants We manage everything ourselves with some help from our family. 

Quote from @Devin James: We're actively looking at new building plans for future buildsHere some things we're considering while balancing design, cost, and functionality.1) Cost to build – Simple rooflines, efficient use of space, and minimal wasted square footage.2) Functionality – Does the layout actually make sense for how people live?

Missing out on depreciation doesn't matter for now because you're living there.

Live in the primary.

@Jaycee Greene after the year living there at first property can you get a second fha loan but have to live for a year too on the next one?

Evicting may seem harsh because you are sympathetic to their situation and live on the same property.
