One Tenant vs Four — Which Wins?
Single-family home. One tenant.
Tenant moves out — income is $0.
You cover the full mortgage out of pocket until someone new moves in.
Now picture this.
Fourplex. Four tenants.
One moves out — the other three are still paying.
One vacancy doesn’t zero out your income. It barely makes a dent.
Same mortgage process. Same down payment rules if you’re house hacking. Completely different risk profile.
Here’s my question for you today — if you were buying your first property tomorrow, which would you choose?
Single-family or multifamily?
Drop your answer and your reasoning below. Then find someone in the comments who picked the opposite side and ask them why.
I want a real conversation — not just everyone agreeing with me.
