Go big or go small for first multifamily purchase?

[Meesha Parker]

In your opinion, which would be better for a first time investor with over $150k? 

1. A higher value property, 2+ units with decent to good - eventually great - cash flow? Potentially a one-and-done.

OR

2. A smaller multifamily. 2-4 units. Less capital risk, less cash flow, less appreciation potential, etc.
