Los Angeles Market - SFR or MFR?

[Adolph Witherspoon Jr]

Looking for advice in whether it makes sense to jump back into the LA RE market via either

1) nicely priced SFR in a borderline up and coming area that is hillside with a nice view, then reassessing in a year or two seeing where the equity is - or -

2) seek out a MFR to begin building the RE portfolio...factoring in that "profitable" MFRs in LA seem non-existent right now given prices - at least for anything 2-4 units under $1M.
