Is Single Family or Multi Family a better investment?

[Brad Hammond]

Hey y'all.  I know there are a lot of other posts about MF vs SF on here but they are all slightly different.  Here is my situation.  I am in Portland, OR and am going to start purchasing more properties.  I do have experience renting condos for the past 8 years.  I have a full time job and am looking for a good long term investment.  I would be looking to hold the properties for 5-8 years, sell and reinvest.  I've got about $100k I can invest and am wondering if one 4-8 unit property would be better than 2-3 single family homes.  What usually appreciates faster as well as has better cash flow?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time/expertise.
