What is your favorite asset type and why?
We are looking at various types of purchases SFH, Duplex, TriPlex... We don't have a lot of equity/cash to get into larger numbers of units. It seems that duplexes will almost always bring more monthly income than SFHs. Thoughts?

@Alan Diamond , you'll find people on both sides of that discussion-- SF vs multi.
Multi spreads your risk a bit because 1 vacancy doesn't equate to 100% vacancy and many people find better theoretical cashflow.
On the other hand, SF means you have less tenants to manage, can usually require them to pay all utilities as well as lawn and snow care and tenants seem to stay longer.
