Duplex vs Fourplex same cash flow (which is better)

[Erik Sherburne]

Assuming all things are equal (CoC return, etc.) is there any advantage in have four units vs two if the cash flow is the same? I like to consider time spent as so in this scenario I would spend less time on two units that four....any insight? Thanks in advanced, BP!

All things being equal I'd lean towards the 4-unit. A vacancy there is only a 25% loss of rent. A vacancy in your duplex is a 50% loss.
