We've had one cabin that has failed to pay a single assessment since the inception of the HOA one year ago and has wracked up $1750 in late fees. 

Do you think a duplex is generally a better investment than a single-family home for rental purposes?

Quote from @Edward James smith: Hello, I currently own a single family house with an ADU, and a duplex.

I'm particularly passionate about single family home.Outside of real estate, I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, riding motorcycles.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Anything single family will require very creative strategies in order to generate cashflow. 

Build - rent - refinance -repeat. in columbus ohio you are buying old houses that are 1900 or 1920 or 1940 and you are in a sellers market. on the other hand you can source land which is a buyers market and build single family homes or duplex or triplexes that will return by renting and pulling cash out on a DSCR loan and doing it again. there aren't a lot of strategies that do this. flipping is different. so many risks. but when someone has a well oiled machine it's all good and less risk.

Furnished Finder attracts travelers who are single or traveling as a couple.

Single family usually doesn't make much sense from a rent/price ratio in A-B areas unless you are doing a rehab.

I found a single family home built in 2004 for $240,000 and believe I can get 20% down within 12 months.
