Starting Up

[Edward Geyer]

Would it be better to invest in a Single or Multi family home

[Curt Davis]

This is all personal opinion I guess.  Depends on your market and your risk tolerance.  

If your multi family is in a less desirable area expect vacancy, maintenance, theft and vandalism.  

I dont know your market.  

For example, if you buy a home for $60k and rents for $795 compared to a multifamily you can buy for $70k that rents each side for say $595, I would not go for that. It will be a long term headache.  This is just my opinion based on what I have seen in my own market. 

To get into good multifamily you will most likely pay the price for it.
