Go 4-Plex or stay with buy-hold SFRs? San Diego

[Nathaniel Donnelly]

I am a fairly new (1 year) investor with 2 SFR investments in San Diego in addition to my primary. I am ready to pull the trigger on a fourth property which was going to be another SFR, but after discussing with my agent last night, he told me to at least look into getting a 4-plex.

Multi-family properties have always intimidated me I guess, as I have no knowledge about them, if I can afford one, or even how to find them here in San Diego.

Any advice is welcome.  Thanks!
