SFH Indv. Room Rental vs. Fourplex

[Mehran K.]

Hi all, this is a repost from earlier as I think I may have posted in the wrong Category.

I'm contemplating purchasing a SFH and renting out the spare rooms or buying a fourplex and renting the other 3 units out.

I don't have much experience to go on, but after running some spread sheets It seems like I would have more cash flow getting a 4br3ba(or more) SFH and renting out the individual rooms, than I would get on the Fourplexes in my area.

Do SFH's appreciate quicker than Fourplexes?
Are there any benefits tax-wise for chosing one over the other?
Has anyone had experience with renting out spare rooms that can give any input or advice. It would be appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.
