As far as a multi, personally if all things were equal I'd go for the multi for a few reasons.  1) Added diversification.. if one tenant doesn't pay, you can still cover property expenses with the other tenants 2) Shared capex... typically, one roof and one property to maintain but multiple streams of income 3) Less vacancy.. usually multi's rent for lower, for example one of mine is the sweet spot of 3 bedrooms for $1300. 

Having a paid off house at 39 is a sweet thing.

Now the story is quite sweet.

. ~180 is the "sweet spot" per Pm.

The buyers must be getting a really sweet deal if they are willing to part with cash with no returns for 1+ year. 

Looks like you found a sweet spot in Kansas.

Whitefish is sweet. 

This might put you in the sweet spot for that demographic of rental if that's want. 

Now Bare with me as this is my first post and ill keep it short and sweet.
