We would each flip our basements and STR or MTR 1st floor and we would live in our basements of the SFH.By year 3 we hope to each own 2 duplexes.I would prefer single family homes I may be wrong but does single family appreciate better than duplexes?

It’s worth the investment—placing the wrong tenant can cost you much more in the long run if you have to deal with evictions or non-payment.It’s about finding the right balance for your needs, but in my experience, having some professional oversight can save you a lot of headaches down the road.

I could be wrong there, but regardless I know developer pain when hands are tied.
