having trouble decide weather to invest in an apartment or a house.

apartments are cheaper but will have to pay management fee and the property price will not rise much i am led to believe.

house are more expensive and require more work running them however have the potential to rise in value 

thoughts please?

Apartments have greater potential to rise in value than houses. Moreover, that value rise has less to do with the market and more with management efficiencies. You as an apartment owner can increase the value by increasing rents and reducing expenses while the same would not change a value of a house.
