Hey everyone,

Im building a couple of houses in west FL and was unsure on how to decide between building a 3 bed home with 2.5 bath and a larger footprint for the living/kitchen/den, or build a 4 bd 3 bath with a tighter footprint on the living/kitchen/den area. How do i go about in making this decision? What should i consider?

Thank you.

@Oliver Dow I hate to say this but it depends

Are you looking to sell these? If so, do what will get you the highest sales price, likely the 4/3.

Are these going to be rentals? If so, who is your target renter, and what size is most in demand or underserved in your area?

Those would be the biggest things to consider in my eye. A more spacious feeling is nice but only goes so far.

Hope this helps,

Mack
