What's easier to Rent out for cashflow? 4Br 3Br or 2Br

[Brian Garlington]

What's easier to find renters for? a 4br or 3 Br or 2Br? 

Some people say 3 Bd/2Ba is the ideal combination. 

Others say you get more cashflow with a 4 bd/2,5 but you run the risk of higher vacancy because most of the time a 4 bd is when people are looking to buy instead of rent. 

Still others say if you can buy a two bedroom for a lower price that has a "bonus room" or "office" that you can convert into a bedroom by adding a closet then that's even better because of forced appreciation.....then rent that out as a 3 bedroom 2 bath.  

What's been your experience?
