Thoughts on SF vs Multi. Have I turned my blinders on to SF

[Brett Danehey]

I've been doing all this homework on Multi family and have been focused on that with minimal/marginal deals out there. I've put out a number of offers and I'm pending on a multi, but the deal is slim. I've got my walk through tomorrow to see the condition of the place. But I'm seeing a number of SF coming up in the market that are priced well, better neighborhoods and looking at numbers cash flow is similar and the cash on cash is better. 

Thoughts on have I turned on the blinders to these really good opportunities because I was short sided with the "it's gotta be multi family". If we're looking at Cash flow for holding does it really matter if it's a multi or a sf if they flow the same?? I'm thinking No.

I sold all my multi family and only purchase singles. Tenants pay all the utilities, handle the lawn care, taxes are less, it's less management intensive , tenants stay longer and my returns are better. However the multi family guys will always argue they can scale quicker and it's easier on the maint side of things.
