Two SFR or one duplex?

[James York]

Would you rather have a duplex or two single family properties next to each other? Either option would be new construction and the duplex units would be substantially similar to the single family homes in size and features.

@Jaron Walling I'm building 4 SFR for rentals right now. I've created a model to control costs and it's pretty efficient. The duplex would be pretty similar on cost/SF as compared to the single family. At least in my case, it's apples to apples on cost (savings in one area equals similar cost somewhere else). I'm most interested in opinions on what people would rather have and why.
