Hypothetical - 15-Unit Apartment or 5 Single Family Homes (All numbers being equal)

[Justin Brickman]

One of my client's asked me if I had to choose a portfolio between one 15-unit apartment or five single family homes, which would I choose? If all numbers were equal (purchase price, repairs, cash flow, expenses, etc). I know my answer, but I thought it was a good exercise to see how some of you would answer in today's market.
