Room rentals to blue collar construction workers

I have a 3/2 that I am considering renting by the room. It also has 2 living room areas the tenants would share a kitchen. It's not going to be a vacation rental more like a college rental. Basically just a place for blue and white collar construction workers who are working in our area temporarily do to plant expansions. They usually stay 1-2 years, I'll pay all bills. It's in a C blue collar neighborhood but with in a mile of the job sites and a few blocks from a boat dock to world class fishing. How do I advertise the wording for this situation to attract potential renters. Any pros and cons would be appreciated. I have been a land lord for 10 years and have several properties, I understand the SFH market but not this new market that is developing in our area. Market rents for this situation would be 200.00 per week per room. As a single family home it would only generate 800.00 per month. It's in a not so good school district.
