.- Single family and multi-family properties means that the investor takes a significant (or all of the) exposure on the property in the event of damages and repairs while with a condo such costs are shared.- Condos are typically closer to very busy areas like city centers (while single family and multi-family are further away / in suburbs) which, in the case of a buy-hold-rent strategy, means that the investor will have more traffic / demand.- Smaller properties are usually easier to off-load (more liquid) because our society is seeing very high levels of migration (people travelling or moving for work constantly) / people less inclined to partner / have families / people more focused on work / and pied-a-terre concept.- Condos are much easier to maintain internally than larger homes.- Condos are easier to manage as Air B&B than larger homes.- In the case of multi-family properties, sharing a home with two or three other families where everyone knows everyone can create issues if they don't get along as the close proximity doesn't allow for any privacy.Happy to connect with you and speak in more detail if you are interested in Massachusetts!
