Go by square footage?

Can you give us an idea of how much those things cost and what kind of square footage one might cover?

It looks like you take into consideration square footage which I hadn't really thought about...

Your rent is determined by the number of bedroom, the square footage and the finishes.

You should expect about $700-$750 in rent depending on condition and square footage.

I always submit rent comps to support my request that reflect the same style property, in as close to an age and square footage range as I can get, that are located in the same city within 5 miles of my property, and were rented within the last 6 months.  

Shooting from the hip the shower is likely more expensive, there isn't a significant price difference between a shower pan and bath tub, the square footage of tile on the wall is very similar (unless it is a bigger party shower) but to do the shower right you have to install the glass door which will run a few hundred installed.

With a 5-6 year timeline, I would think adding the square footage would be the better option. 

Adjust for average square footage differences, and you'll find that on a per-square-foot basis (total supply), house prices and inflation are almost identical.Again, anything else would defy economic laws...are you suggesting that's the case?

I did -- proximity won out over square footage by a mile.
