It's tough to compete with a 3 bed SFR with private outdoor space with the same rent unless the community is highly amenetized/well kept.It's a great pocket of the metro to try to hold if you can.Hope this helps! 

If you hold both (the second for wildfires because of the garage), overinsure.Your last post said you were trying to avoid headaches and these are both guaranteed to be emotionally draining and the biggest headaches based on your description of the upkeep on both, but I get it.

The biggest thing though is wherever you invest you hand select a great team to help you get started from a great realtor, contractor, property manager, and attorney
