$200k: 4 $200k duplexes at 20% or 1 commercial bldg at 20%
If presented with $200,000 would you rather, try to elaborate on your answer if possible :
A - buy 4 duplexes at 20% down ($160,000 with $40,000 left over for cash flowing repairs, vacancies, etc.) and have to be a fairly active Landlord now that you have 8 doors in the same city?...
B - 1 apartment building roughly worth $800-$900k to get the 8-10 doors all under 1 roof to minimize management and some aspects of maintenance....
C - invest into a Commerical building (I am a Commerical GC professionally and understand the aspects of leasing) with another seasoned commercial owner?
