When I started out I had a small mansion on the beach that had a 4/2 main house and a 2/1 casita. Main house (under)rented at $1200 a night average and the casita $300 a night. Shared pool. Typically families occupied main house and younger renters often in the casita. It was a nightmare with people sharing amenities and complaining one of the parties were being too loud, or drunk, etc.
Not exactly comparing apples to apples but that turned me off to trying to do any more shared spaces. I do manage some small apartment complexes and generally there are not too many issues, but not zero.
Also, for me as a PM I have fixed costs per unit, so to have 5 listings in 1 house would be cost prohibitive.
Just food for thought, good luck!
