single family vs. multi family properties in Houston

[Iman Yu]

hi there, 

I am pretty new to real estate investing. I would like to find my first property in Houston in invest in. I am positioning myself to be buy & hold. From talking to people and listening to pod casts, it seems like multi family property would be a better deal than a single family property to get my hands on.

I would like to get some feed back on that from those who invest in Houston area. Is that true here in the Houston market? Would I be able to find those deals on har.com? What's the price range for those?

I would like to hear the pro's and con's from those who have managed/invested in multi family properties in Houston as well.

Thanks, 

Iman
