How did you decide SFH vs. Multi-family?
Hi friends. Wanted to see what helped people decide to tackle SFH vs. multi-family or the reverse of that? I'm around Austin, which is super hot at the moment, so it's proving difficult (and expensive!) to find multi-family units. I had hoped to land on a duplex somewhere outside Austin, but so far haven't seen much that one might consider a deal. Rather than sit and wait, I find myself starting to look at single family homes and trying to find something in the surrounding area. I was hoping to get into a decent cashflow situation, but my limited experience is suggesting that's going to be a challenge around here. Wondering what drove people to pick one versus the other with their own investments.
