I would recommend live in something that makes you money. I like small multifamily homes (2-4 units) I live in a duplex renting the other half out. On this page I will talk about my experience with owner occupied duplex etc... The best of both worlds You get rental income and taxes breaks ... I cover this more below but it just give you a lot tax rate income and you can make your net income look a lot better for taxes than the gross income with this.
Put a nice amount of money down (Like 25% or more if you can) then pay the mortgage like you are paying rent and use the rent money to build up reverses and also to pay down the property then you will have your own rental kingdom. Get a 15 year fixed rate so then ideally in under 10 years you will own your place out right :) With interest rate the way they are today it may make less sense to go into debt to buy up more properties than just having the one. I am also not a big fan of property management and could probable make a higher ROI on another business or website that I create. I have this as my home base and knowing that I will always have a roof over my head that is affordable. I think for most people getting one duplex or so would be enough unless they get tons of joy out of doing this work and are really handy having the one duplex allows for some diversification of revenue and helps lower your cost of living
