SFR or small multifamily??
I keep going back and forth between buying a sfr and renting out by the room or house hacking small multi-famly. Preferably my family and I would like to have our privacy with small multifamily so that would be ideal but we are open to either. In Phx, AZ it is rare to come across a multifamily that doesn't need work that is in our price range and this is why i keep reverting back to SFR. Any insight and/or advice is greatly appreciated.

@Alfredo Navarrette, I am currently house hacking with an SFR that includes a separate entrance studio. The studio is operating as a medium-term rental, and we have had a lot of success with Furnished Finder. With a young child, sharing rooms in the primary residence was not an option but this allows us to have a safe and secure home while also improving our financial position.
