Town house or detached home for investing?

[Dustin Racine]

Single family detached all day long. You have far more control and don't need to worry about a sketchy condo board who cant budget their money unexpectedly raising your condo fees. Plus, in 30+ years when the house is paid off u can always bulldoze it and redevelop.

I like to buy multiplex buildings... Essentially townhouse units, but I own the land. Efficiencies built in wrt grounds maintenance, no strata, but a fair amount of operating expenses on older product. Paying for snow removal and garbage pick up can be a drag. The balance is I am in control of the properties and not responsible to a strata. Can't stand stratas...
