Single family residential vs commercial

Which is the better investment currently, 5 years, 10 years down the road? Which will give more bang for the buck? I’m guessing single family rentals are less risky and more passive income?

A lot of it depends on your experience and desire. You need to find your niche and whatever that is will be the best income producer for you.

Many of us got started in single-family because there is lower cost of getting started and less risk.

I believe that commercial is the best bang for the buck right now. I'm buying the office sector. I don't think that's for everybody. There is a huge amount of risk right now, but I believe that people will be coming back to the office. These properties are hurting right now and there is a lot of value to be had as long as you can have vacancy for a year or more. Don't do this unless you are experienced and have the finances.
