What qualities should I look for in a SFH?

[Logan J.]

Evening everyone, 

In May I plan on purchasing my home. I plan on it being a SFH and having it be my primary residence. Any additional rooms I have I will most likely rent out.

With that idea in mind, I am more inclined to purchase a larger house with more bedrooms or bathrooms. However in San Antonio, there doesn't seem to be many 4 bedroom 2 bathrooms available so options are limited and in most cases are expensive as well. 

My question is, is there a trade off between the two? I realize I would have to manage more tenants/ roommates but other than that, economies of scale tells me I could get a better return from a house with more bedrooms. 

Aside from that, are there any other qualities I should look for in a house other than personal preferences?

Thanks,

Logan
