Townhouse rentals vs single family

[Brandon DiOrio]

I have been analyzing deals in my price point (200k and under) and I keep seeing town houses come up.

They interest me because for my first time being a land lord it appears to be safer. Harder to destroy a property when landscape is taken care of and neighbors share at least one wall.

But given this cash flow becomes harder with hoa fees and they don’t benefit as much from appreciation as single family houses can.

wondering if anyone has any experience renting out townhouses. The advantages or disadvantages.
