12 2BR apts or 4 duplexes more profitable ?

[Sue Zikria]

Dear Forum members,

Is it more profitable to buy 12 apts each 2 BR and each priced at 100k or 4 duplexes in next 4 years each priced about 400k?

I would be buying and holding as rentals.

I prefer more passive income over appreciation but I read Kris Krohn’s book that said 3 BR homes are more profitable in long run.

Any opinions and knowledge is greatly appreciated.

BR,

Sue
