Selecting a house that’s a great investment
Thinking about what kind of property best suits your next investment? Cripps Realty is here to help you differentiate the 2 kinds of property that you can choose from.
The first one is called a single-family home which is more of a typical home with 1 kitchen, 1 or more bathrooms, and bedrooms. They can be fully detached, a townhouse, link, attached to the garage, semi-detached, a cottage, or a lot home, as long as it’s one unit.
Single-family home is good for short-term rentals and causes less headache due to complaints and noise which result in bad reviews.
Benefits:
- Fewer complaints (both for short and long term rentals)
- Less noise (no other family to share the spaces)
- They are paying their own utility bill
- They do their own maintenance
- They stayed longer (less headache)
Drawbacks:
- No one to help in paying the bills and payments unlike multi-family homes
A multi-family home, on the other hand, is basically a home with 2 or more units. Most likely it will have 2 or more kitchens. It can be a duplex, a triplex, or a commercial property.
Benefits:
- Since it can cater to 2 or more families, you can gain extra cash compared to a single-family home
- Tenants can share their payments
Drawbacks:
- It’s a bit more to manage
- Not great for short term rentals
