Do duplexes appreciate at same rate as SFH?

[Carleen L.]

I’m looking at a package deal and one of the houses is listed as a SFH but is what I would call a duplex or townhouse because of a shared wall. It is detached on the other side. Only one half of this building is for sale. I’ll admit I’m confused by the label “SFH” in this instance since it is attached. In any case, the rest of the deal looks good, but I’m not sure what to expect with this duplex/townhouse? Historically, do they appreciate at a similar rate as SFH? Are they about as easy to rent? Do you have more issues with tenants complaining about neighbors? Obviously there are a lot of unknowns, I’m just looking for generalizations. Thanks!
