Which would be better for appreciation?
This is a super vague question but I got thinking about it today and thought I should get some insight.
We are selling one SFR which should give us enough for down payments on 3 new SFRs or a down payment on one fourplex plus maybe one more SFR if we're lucky. The fourplex option gives us more doors, but I was thinking about appreciation. It seems like the more separate properties you own, the higher appreciation you're likely to see. In that way SFRs would be the better option as far as gaining net worth. Multifamily would be easier on management and repairs. This mainly stems from conversations where "everyone's house has gone up $100K in value" whether they paid $180K for their house or $480K.
