Temporary Housing for Workers

So I see a good bit of people talking about corporate housing and short term rentals but is anyone focused on blue collar workers coming in town for construction type jobs?  I've been focusing on this lately and it's been working out well.  We have a lot of refineries in the area so they have a good bit of workers coming in regularly for construction and turnarounds.  The motels fill up and many would prefer a house with washer, dryer, kitchen, etc.  I've been trying to offer everything the extended stays and some for the same price or in some cases lower.  They are usually being paid per diem and are here for a couple months at a time.  So far this strategy is working well for me.  Anyone else doing something similar?
