Houston Tx.- Multi-family vs. SF property

[Account Closed]

My partner and I are looking to purchase our first investment property in Houston, Tx., and are torn between starting with multi-family homes to rent for cash-flow vs. SF homes to flip. Our ultimate goal is to own multiple apartment complexes. I would love any thoughts on what might be best starting out. So far I've deemed the main pros/cons to be that MF homes will give more cash flow, but may be harder to resell, harder to find, and have more maintenance cost.
