1- and 2-beds don’t cost much more than studios, yet are bigger. Cost/ft2 goes down, but so does income/ft2.
What if a complex has mostly (well-planned) studios that have a physical divider (half-wall, etc) for a bedroom for a lil cheaper - will that
allow for more units to be built within the complex?
make up for the “lost” extra income from 1- and 2-beds?
