Quote from @Jill F.:

Single person households make up 28% of the US population up from 13% in 1960. 31 of our 53 units are one bedroom apartments and we usually have a waiting list.

Thanks Jill. I really appreciate the info. Great to know!!

Quote from @Jon Kelly:

@Michael Hooven it's always market dependent... 

Is this a class A rental near plenty of job opportunities? If so, you can attract young professionals and do very well. 

Is this a class C rental 20+ minutes from job opportunities? If so, you will attract older singles that may or may not be good candidates. 

You already know the answers... "cash flows," "worry about appreciation," "worry about pool of renters." 

I'd assume minimal appreciation, but as long as the IRR / CoC return hit your metrics then go for it!

Jon. Thanks for the response. This condo is in a beautiful building in downtown West Palm Beach.

Hey everyone. Just curious to know if 1 bed 1 bath condos are bad investments. This particular property cash flows, but I worry about appreciation and also the pool of renters to choose from. I believe a lot less people would be looking for a 1/1. 
many insight?
