Buying a condo or a multi family unit
Hello!
Just want to know the pros and cons to buying a condo as oppose to a multi family unit like a duplex or triplex to rent out. Is it better to buy a nice condo in a nice area for example on the west side os Los Angeles near the ocean or go a little further out and buy a duplex or triplex in an okay area. Thanks!
