FYI, this is just a question. Have no plan in 2-3 years. Just wanna know what expert people will think.

I married for 2 years now, living with a wife and a son.
If I have the ability to get properties (by loan) for RM300K, should I:

1. Buy a house which value about RM300K. And live in it with my family.

or

2. Buy 3 apartment which value RM100K each. Live on 1 of the apartment, rent the remaining apartment to others. 

Short term: I dont have any problem staying in apartment. I dont have plan to get more than 3 kid.
Long term: I may not be staying at that house/apartment when I old, as I have plan to sell the properties and buy a house at my kampung (which should be more cheaper) 
Personal: I dont have experiance buying house nor knowledge regarding properties. I just start working 2 years ago and never though about buying a house before.
