Sometimes I'll even use another units bathroom given we use all of the same materials and the layout will only differ slightly.

I attached a layout - the exterior still needs some tweaking - it's a little bland as-is.

I moved the kitchen so I could change the layout.

Cost is obviously a consideration, but I think that making 4, 2 bed 1 bath units would be the best layout from a cost standpoint, both on the build and potential for rents.

Also, I love being on site studying and analyzing properties, design layouts, and creating ways to add value to homes.

Depending on your building layout, these may work for you.

You can lay out all your assets up front and who owns what.

We were looking at a house on James Island, it's really nice but not sure of the layout.  

Layout your networth minus your one side and provide it to the investment manager and see if they take it. 

I think I would also say it is "not a fit" or working out and lay out a reasonable cash for keys arrangement (and maybe mention the alternative would be a for cause eviction on the bricks, sticks, and bullets)...I would just call it tuition at bad tenant university.That said, if you are going to willingly be in this gritty type tenant group that resolves disagreements with gun play, dodging bullets and such, then I would maybe up my life insurance, get a bullet proof vest (really, I would for late night visits about noise calls) and rent to the remaining tenant and hang tight for her next adventure or interesting co-habitant as you will have a front row seat for all the action.Best of luck!
