Deciding between a 3 unit and a 5 unit

I am deciding between a 3-family property consisting of 3BR units and a 5-family property that are all 2BR units. They are roughly around the same price and profit about the same per month. Utilities are separated and paid by tenants in both.

Anybody have any advice on deeling with 5 units versus 3? I think the 2BR units would be more in demand, but then you have 5 units to maintain and more tenants to keep happy.

Hypothetically on a larger scale, what if it was an 8 unit property with single bedrooms. Easy to fill, but more maintenance calls?
