Few factors that drove me to mf right out of the gate: 1) only get so many Fannie/Freddie loans on traditional financing so I wanted as many doors under each loan as possible 2) can consolidate cap ex protects like new roof/siding (though keep in mind, bigger/taller property will mean more $$ for each project than a sfh--though still cheaper as a whole) 3) closing costs are roughly the same for a sfh or triplex so better to get a 3 for 1, 4) especially if youre out of state like I am, easier to track and manage everything for 6 units in two properties rather than 6 separate properties (I use property management but you still need to monitor/manage the pm).
