One Multifamily By Myself or Two With A Partner?

[Justin Coulson]

Hello,

New investor here. I have roughly $50,000 to invest (focusing on two-unit multifamily homes). I'm currently looking at multifamily homes around $200,000. What makes more sense - Purchase one two-unit multifamily home ($200,000) by myself putting 25% down ($50,000). Or buy two two-unit multifamily homes ($200,000 each) with a 50/50 partner, so $25,000 down per house?

Any insight would be great!
