What is a valid reason to INVEST in SFH?
The long time debate about SFH and MFH dates back to forever. In my experience you have people who swear by SFH and you have MFH investors that stay away from SFH like their life depends on it.
I figure it would be healthy to have a nice discussion for reason why someone SHOULD consider SFH investing. I think the MFH case kind of fends for itself, doesn't need much backing.
However, SFH on the other hand. What are valid reasons to invest in SFH? Especially considering that it's been proven 10x over that it's not neccesary to start in SFH and "build up".
Let the discussion begin.

There's less insurance, less common area, less shared utilities, and sometimes better financing (though not always as creative). Also you can be more diversified in SFH. It can be easier to sell just one unit in SFH than MFH too.
