Multi-Family? Are they all the same?

When buying multifamily properties, does it matter if it's a duplex, multiplex or more than one structure?

I have the chance to get a property with a small 2 bedroom house, and a large double wide with full basement that can also be rented separately.

With income potential of 3 places, I would like to know if purchasing a property like this is as good of an investment as buying a multiplex property?

Are there any downsides?

Other than being harder to sell when the time comes, are there any downsides to purchasing this kind of property?

Thank you in advance!
