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 do single family "off market" that I take over with owner financing, subject to, wraps and lease options.

However, not one general location is going to help you determine whether it's a good market for multi family or single family etc.The one true way to start looking into a market is talking to an agent who knows the area.

We bought a single family up here last year and converted a garage to an ADU, which rented out really quickly to a great young couple.

You can still find single-family homes in the $80k–$100k range and duplexes in the $130k–$150k range, even in C and C+ neighborhoods that are seeing steady improvements.

Quote from @Aj Green: Hey,(Posting again as I sign today so it is urgent)Is there any cheaper lender than a 6.75% for an Ohio investment property.No brokers fees, 110k, no points, 760+ credit score, 20% down, 140k value, no realtors, single family, rent covers mortgage, 30 year term fixed.Thanks for the help!

Do you want to do Single-family homes or Multi-family? 

I personally like Alabama and Tennessee a lot, depending on what specific area you're looking at.Look for Class B or C properties in stable rental markets, particularly single-family homes or duplexes.

For me and my goals, I focus on long-term investing in residential single-family homes in Florida and Georgia.
