High End VS. Low End?

[Steve Rozenberg]

Is an Expensive Property Always the Best Investment for a Rental Property?

[Bryan O.]

When you crunch the numbers, they come out about the same in the long run. @Robert Melcher hit it on the head though, lower end properties tend to cash flow better giving you results that can be used today. Higher end properties tend to cash flow very poorly or not at all giving you appreciation down the road.

I think the key decision factors are if you want to expand and how much effort you want to put in. You can't expand much with higher end without great external income to support it, but you'll also reduce headaches and number of doors.
