If you have fewer than 4 people, just get a personal house and invite friends as tenants.

There’s no reason to giving a FC preferential treatment to get a house when it is ultimately just a second personal house.

Fortunately for those that disagree with me, SE also seems to agree with you, thus 1 man FCs and fake FC house flippers can scoop up the supply all day long, leaving us back where we started whining about lack of supply.
For a certain amount of time having 4 or more members was actually a requirement to purchase a plot as FC - "A free company may only purchase land if it has four or more members." https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/
I dont know when they removed that restriction, but it should have really been kept in place...
