market questions？much appreciated

[David Li]

hello everyone, i was doing some research about duplex and single families, and im wondering in general which types of property appreciate faster? just want to know your opinions

Appreciation is going to depend greatly on the neighborhood. It also depends on the type of housing in a particular neighborhood.

In nicer areas it will be harder to cashflow a SFR since most people are not buying them based on their income potential.

A multiplex will usually be easoer to sell in a pinch for a better price.

You will notice that areas that tend to have greater appreciation will have lower cap rates so your monthly cash flow will usually be lower.
