Single Family or Multi-Family Investment in Oklahoma City?

[Joanna Valdez]

Hello!

I'm having a hard time deciding whether to invest in a single family home or a multifamily duplex. 

I will be moving to Oklahoma City soon and I am going to invest in my first property when I get there. I definitely was leaning towards investing in a multifamily duplex since I am going to be living in my investment home for a few years before moving out. The only problem is that it is very difficult to find a multifamily property of any kind in OKC! And when they do come to the market, they go by very fast. It's very competitive. So this is why I have been leaning towards investing in a single family home and possibly renting a room or two while I live there. For my more experienced investors, what do you think?
