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!

Questions for those who have invested in 4-plex as well as duplexes.
1. Is the tenant turnover higher for 4-plex as compared to duplex?
2. Is it right to assume that 4-pex will require more landlord time investment. In duplex, you let the tenant manage and pay their utilities (water, electric, gas, trash etc.), but in case of 4-plex, I guess some part of it (water, trash management falls into the landlord bucket (assuming that each unit has its own electric meter that they get connection and pay directly).
3. What other advantages and disadvantages do you have one over other, as far as managing the 4-plex vs. duplex. I am exploring 4-plex where 2 units are on each 1st and 2nd floor.
4. Have 4 tenants living side-to-side, do you encounter more tenant-tenant issues to handle?
