The issue with MFH is it's more complicated and time consuming: Double the cost ($600k vs $300k), therefore more time to save deposit In order to get affordable loan (FHA), I have to live there so VERY limited inventory of commutable places If I'm going to live there I need to find a place that works for me (Garage, close to work, large living room, safe)Looking for single family is easier because: I already have $30k saved so could buy it now Much easier to find a house with what I need (garage, layout) as single due to increased inventory alone Very limited 3-4 families period.
