New Construction SFR vs Apartment Investing

[Henry Offiah]

Hey BP, 

Im curious on what some of you would say as the better route to go and why.

I'm at a crossroads between:

Starting and focusing on New construction for single-family houses to eventually get into being able to build small to medium editions as a long-term goal. Certainly, I know there are many steps and learning to get to that long-term goal.

or 

Investing in apartments starting with small to medium size and with time, experience, and partners to get to large apartments.

Which have you found to give you a good balance of time btw investing and family?

Which do you feel has better returns short term and long term?

Why would you recommend someone to go into one of the other?

Thanks for your response.
