When adding buy/hold SFR's to your portfolio, are 3 bed / 2 bath homes your ideal property? I've been operating as if they are believing 3/2s are more rentable and will ultimately have a higher appreciation rate .... as a result, I rarely look at 2/1s or 3/1s unless their price is significantly lower. What's your ideal property? :type:

I'll buy a 3/1 if I can add another bath. When I add it is another matter, but I like the option of doing so to make it either more rentable or more salable.

I like 3/2 and 4/2 myself.

As I believe the economy is contracting in such a way that the family will stay closer to each other, the more bedrooms the better for sales to the "extended families" or "contracted families" who will be pooling their resources to manage those larger homes out of necessity.

Possibly even those 2/1's with a "garage apt" or other second private entrance.
