Which is better to start investing with? A multi family home or an apartment complex?

[Cory Mickler]

In my opinion an apartment is easier to maintain and has higher profit margins but is also more of a risk while a multi-property home such as a duplex requires more work to maintain for less profit. but if you live in one unit and rent the other unit out you can make a slight profit without much effort.

Also, your more guaranteed to have renters when you have 12 units available as opposed to 2 units since you have more space available so even if some one leaves it doesn't put as much of a dent in your income.

I am new to real estate so any input is greatly appreciated!
