Better a 4/21 SFH? Or a 2/1/1 & 1/1/0 duplex

[Stephen S.]

A southwest Florida property.  1/2 mile from the beaches.   A rehab-required place - but not a total rebuild.  

I have the option of ending up with a 4/2/1 SFH expanded-rancher type house.

Or of ending up with a front/back duplex consisting of a 2/1/1  and a 1/1/0.  

Assume rehab costs to be about the same.

All things considered;  which would you prefer to end up with?  

And why?
