Medium term rentals with unrelated traveling nurses

[Jeff Calcaterra]

I'm renting out two studio apartments to traveling nurses, graduate students and other medium term renters in a town with a large university and university hospital. I could potentially buy a small house with two bedrooms. It's too small to make it into a duplex.

I know that there are small families and couples that might want an arrangement like this, but I'm wondering about other peoples' experiences with pairing together roommates who don't know each other. I know some people do student housing like this, but has anyone else had success with a boarding house type arrangement with these groups?
