Which do you prefer? SFH, Duplex, Apt, etc..

[Kel S]

Just curious for those that are doing rentals, which is your preference? For me I think for the long term I'd prefer SFH just because I think they would be easier to sell if need be.

What about you?

They'll all work for you. However, your sfrs are always the best re-sale. It is a simple economics supply and demand lesson. Apts are never purchased by owner occupants, so you lose that demand. Duplexes are normally not bought by owner occs, so they also lose that demand.
Sfrs are bought by speculators, investors, owner occupants. They have more demand, hence more saleability, imo. They are also easier to buy. Better loans, and less money required, so more buyers. Rich.
