Is three bedrooms better than four?

I just read an interesting report from AirDNA that three bedrooms bring a lot less than four. I have one three bedroom, one 4 br and one 5 br. I am able to charge double for the two bigger properties. For those of you with larger homes, do you find it to be true as well?

@Inna22 slightly different but we had a 1 bed and a 2 bed apartment upstairs and a 3 bed downstairs taking up the same footprint. Our combined income from the two smaller apartments was about 40% greater than that of the 3 bed.

I guess it all depends on your market.

@Mike-And-Jane0 I think it is still somewhat in line with the report. It appears that three bedroom is the least profitable combination
