SFH or Multi...that is the question!
Hello All! I am a new RE investor, though I have a background in property management. I have been in the industry for 8+ years and have managed upwards of 900+ units at a time. I have been a spectator who has fallen into the trap of "analysis by paralysis" but am at a place where I am finally willing to take action! Based on my background, I was curious to see if it made sense to start out my personal investment portfolio with a multi family asset or SFH? I'd love to hear your suggestions and experiences. I'm leaning more towards multi family although there doesn't appear to be such a large market in the DMV (DC, MD, VA) area for smaller assets (2-6 units).
Thank you in advance for any feedback!
