Two family or three family

[Jason Cote]

I've been searching for a multi for awhile now. I prefer a three family for the obvious reasons. I'll be living in one u it for a year, before I can purchase house #2. I'm using a VA loan.

Let’s assume I find two properties, both renting for 1% of purchase price. As a general rule, without getting into the weeds, would you prefer:

1.) an updated 2-Family, in an A+ area.

2.) an updated 3-Family in a B+ area
