No, when you live in one unit and that is your only rental property, you do not qualify for the QBI.

" Real estate used by the taxpayer (including an owner or beneficiary of an RPE relying on this safe harbor) as a residence for any part of the year under section 280A is not eligible for this safe harbor." https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-19-07.pdf
