Townhome vs. SFH - Raleigh

[Shaun Palmer]

Hey BPer's

I have recently been looking to purchase a property or two and am considering buying a townhome vs. a SFH for a long term buy and hold. I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this in general (positives and negatives) for either property type.

I have mostly been looking in the western and southern areas of Raleigh but am open to other areas as well.  The Raleigh market has really heated up and properties are not staying on the market long so I am looking for options since they are going so fast and sometimes above market value in my opinion.  Let me know your thoughts.
