Residential or commercial property dilemma

[Sarita Shenoy]

Hi All,

I am fairly new to this industry and this website so forgive me if i ask the same silly question as everyone else has. I am looking to invest into multi-family homes. I am still at the basics of my research and I have narrowed down my locations to 2 cities (Finally!!). Anyway I am now in a dilemma. I was thinking to start with investing in a duplex or fourplex to start of with. But after watching and researching a lot of people mentioned to start with fiveplex plus property as it falls under commercial and is profitable than a fourplex. Can you guys help me in deciding if going residential or commerical is a good option? 

Thanks
