Both single-family homes (SFH) and small multifamily (MF) can play a role in a successful portfolio.Single-Family Homes (SFH): Typically attract longer-term tenants, easier to sell when you exit, and often lower maintenance (fewer systems to repair).Multifamily (2–4 units): More income diversification (if one tenant leaves, you still have cash flow).

I’m most interested in BRRRR and buy-and-hold rentals, and I keep going back and forth between starting with a small multi-family (duplex/triplex/fourplex) or a single-family rental.Here’s where I’m stuck:SFRs seem easier to manage and may be less intimidating for a first deal, but the cash flow might be tighter.Small multis could bring stronger cash flow and efficiency, but I’ve heard they can be tougher to finance, and vacancies or tenant issues could hit harder if I don’t have a solid team yet.For those of you who’ve been down this road already:Which one did you start with, and why?
