Is a 4 br 2.5 BA tough to find a target audience?

Bang O.

Greetings all - Currently renovating a formerly 2 BR 1.5 BA property in West End Alameda, CA with an open downstairs area.  I am thinking of making the large open space downstairs into an extra 2 BR 1 BA to utilize the space.  However being a rental property I am also thinking of the target audience, who I assume would be a large family  who is transitioning into the area.  My question is would making the property such a large potential occupancy, ruling out couples without children, and even couples with 1 child - Am I putting myself in a tough position for finding tenants?  I would save time and money by doing little renditions to the downstairs area, leaving it for storage and perhaps an entertainment room/office.  Most families I know of 4+ that have young children are not exactly looking to rent a big space and pay a substantial amount of rent.  There are other audiences that would love the property as well, but my best guess is a larger family.  Any insight is much appreciated, God bless.
