There are so many reasons, but here are some of the highlights:  (1) they are valued on the sales comp. approach; (2) they are hard to finance because they are valued on the sales comp. approach (comps are hard to find); (3) it's much harder to find deals on them (more sophisticated owners with inflated senses of value); (4) they tend to be clumped together as opposed to interspersed in SFRs, the result is that other landlords actions have a much more significant impact on the operation of your property; (5) you don't achieve any economies of scale (they're too small); (6) they are more management intensive (anytime people share walls, there's always going to be drama); (7) they tend to be illiquid (see point 2); (8) they have more turnover than SFRs; (9) unless you're getting good deal on one, they don't cash flow that well; (10) a lot of them have owner paid water.
