Which is a better investment, a townhouse or a regular home?

Answer by  spragoo (1500)

There are a lot of factors that would need to be considered. Usually a "regular" home is a better investment because it is a freestanding building. Some consider town home living just like having an apartment because it is attached to another residence. If around a college campus for instance, a town home may be your best investment for resale.

A regular home will increase in value faster than a townhouse. However, a regular home has greater maintenance costs. If you can do such work by yourself, chose the home.

It depends on what type of townhouse or home you are looking to buy, now days town houses can be very nice and worth a alot.
