Hello fellow investors. Does anyone have experience, buying and renting a 2 unit home? Are there any benefits or disadvantages in comparison to a single family home? Thanks all.

IMHO, multi family properties are better if you are looking for cash flow, but single families are better if you are looking for long-term appreciation.
