Single family Vs Multi (based on my criteria)

[Rick Singh]

I’m looking to get into real estate in the next 6 months or so, and would like to pick up some books and attend a couple courses in my free time to be better prepared.

Some information about me:

- I own a building maintenance and janitorial services company that provides me with a $400-450k annual salary. I’m looking for a place to start investing a good portion of this money. 

-I live in San Diego and would like to invest locally in the San Diego Market. 

-Minor repairs, carpet cleaning, tenant turnover cleans, etc is something my company does already (albeit for commercial office clients), so getting a “tenant call on a weekend to fix a sink” isn’t a large consideration. 

-The manner in which I plan to invest is buy and hold.

-My biggest criteria: I have no interest in going into deals with partners, owning part of a property, finding and bringing on other investors, etc. I really would like this to be a “solo” deal. I’m not speaking to a team of accountants, lawyers, etc...just specifically as it relates to ownership. 

If this was your criteria, would you be looking to get into SFH or MFH, and why? Thanks in advance!
