Duplex vs. Triplex in SF bay area

[James Z.]

Hi, Happy New Year! We are looking at homes in the San Francisco bay area. we'd like to see which is better (or pros and cons) generally: duplex vs. triplex? Also, for a small area with relatively stricter rent control, is duplex better than triplex? Thank you!

What part of the Bay Area?  Are you pre-approved with a lender yet? If not, then that is your first step. If you don't now of a lender I have a couple of referrals for you.
