Apartment vs SFH Investing

[Travis C.]

It seems I read on BP more frequently that apartment investing seems to be better overall than SFH investing. I have always bought SFH's, but may be open to multifamily as an option. From an investor's point of view, what risks are there with apartments versus SFH's? It would seem that maintenance risks are only multiplied which is one of the main risks that pops into my head. I like SFH's in this way because I can compartmentalize risks around maintenance. How do you multifamily investors get comfortable with this and other risks that may not reside as loudly with SFHs? Or am I viewing this all wrong?
