Renting SFH's or MFH's

[Matt DuSold]

First off I just want to say I understand this can be completely personal preference.

From reading much of landlord material here and other places it seems as though many rent SFH's. I am wondering why this is. Is this just because you take the deals when you see them or is there more behind this? Such as a better chance at a bigger appreciation?

To me (a newb) it seems as though having a multi family would be best. Just for some simple points like; you have multiple units under one roof, when you need to make appearances you have say 3,4,5,6 places all at the same place. I am just curious because all the attention seems to be on SFH when (in my eyes) it seems like multi family would be easiest. Hey, cash flow is cash flow.

Thanks in advance.
