Would it be smarter to put a down payment on multiple single family properties or go for a larger property in a popular area?

I did a larger section of a building And for whatever reason the glue didn’t stick that well.

I.e. tenants have big dogs, house smells like piss, but they haven't complained- it's from their dogs!

Is the new unit in a different location, larger, or better amenities?

There was a massive influx of SFR renters who used to own homes and weren’t going back to apartments and and even larger decrease in supply.

Larger Down payment- My lender did advise if all units are rent occupied my down payment will go from 3% minimum to 20% minimum leaving less money in my pockets.

Instead, they base their qualifications on the following: a larger down payment, cash flow of the property and your credit score.

I walked into a large real estate owners office once right before thanksgiving.. this guy owned about 200 SFR's in Portland value then probably 150k a door  this was mid 90s today easy 350 to 400k a door..

This person could take a larger portion of the cash flow.
