.#4 Higher Appreciation Potential:Single-family homes tend to appreciate more consistently and at a higher rate than small multifamily properties over time.

I’ve found that by investing in better locations I tend to get better tenants and a larger tenant pool.

Like a trust.LLCs do not open some magical door to more tax deductions.I tend to recommend LLCs where the properties are located, but then those LLCs are owned by a Wyoming multi-member LLC.But if you think that you can skip fixing that loose railing and hide behind an LLC when the tenant is injured, you'll regret it.

Both are true in the game of real estate investing.The best deals I've ever put together had some of the best results and everyone around me thought I was nuts. 

People tend to shop with their eyes, so give them something incredible to look at!

You can generally place a voucher tenant in any property.In order to place a section 8 tenant you will have to pass an initial inspection as well as an annual inspection where they tend to be more strict and have you fix things that you may not have addressed for a market tenant.

You're smart to ask these types of questions so I'm sure you'll avoid making the snap decisions that tend to get many doctors in trouble. 

I cannot see how build two, say, 1200 sq ft houses with two roofs, two foundations, presumable about 25-30% more windows and siding is going to be cheaper a duplex that might have a little extra fireblocking and soundproofing.Now, maybe your GC is thinking that detached homes tend to get higher rent than comparably sized and finished duplexes.  

They tend to take better care of the property.

But they don't need to pay more here as our area has always had strong rental demand, and some slowing would likely be a good thing as it's been nuts.
