Single Family or Multi family

[Kenneth Kussman]

I am looking to purchase my first investment property.

I want to buy a property that needs moderate amount of work. After improvements are completed I would like to re-sale (flip). But If i can't get the right price I would hold & rent.

My question ... Would it be better to purchase multi family property or  (1 - 4 units) .... single family property or does it matter ?

Any opinions / Any experiences ?

Thanks

Ken
