fourplex vs single FM homes
Hey guys,
trying to get an investment property and wondering if I go for single family home or buy a fourplex/duplex /triplex ?
what option would be better for investment purpose?
also, since I am in bay area, would prefer something local, so I can manage. but what other places do you suggest to consider I.e. vegas/Arizona /north Texas/ san diago etc ?

Multi-family homes cash flow much greater than SFH and it also presents you with the option to house hack if you want to. However, they typically require more work since you have multiple tenants. SFH can still cash flow at a lower amount but still require less work. It comes down to what's in your price range and what you're willing to deal with.
