It's not unusual to find - contrary to standard investor logic - that renting a multi-structure property to one party commands higher rent than offering it as smaller square footage options with no private yard space.

You can save a little by simplifying your deign and reducing square footage, but at the end of the day, quality construction takes time and costs money.
