Rent in SFR vs multi family properties

[Katie Printz]

I’m looking at a potential first property to buy and have a question on rental rates. For my analysis I used rent-o-meter to get an idea of rates in the area that I’m looking. The property I’m considering is a fourplex.

My question is: are rental rates for SFR and multi family units pretty similar or does one type of property usually get a higher rate that the other?
