Multiple Cheap, or One Pricey
What’s everyone’s opinion on buying more single family rentals, or one multi family rental? Say you have 100k to put down, use that amongst multiple properties or one bigger property?

I have some dulexes and a 12 unit-single building-. The 12 unit is so much more cost effective to maintain. Cash flow and profit per dollar invested is quite a bit better. Hard to beat having all your tenants under one roof.
If I could find another 12 unit within an hour of my home I'd buy it and sell the duplexes. Unfortunately today everything in my market (most markets) is priced too high to make a decent return.
