Better rental return in central Denver -- 1br or 2br condo?

[James Carlson]

Okay, BP nation. (Or just BP Denverites.) 

I've got a client wanting to buy a small condo in the heart of Denver to furnish and rent out to traveling nurses. (I like this model, as it's something my wife and I do, and is a way for those without much money to get into the rental market.)

My buyer is wondering if she decides to go back to long-term renting if a 1br or 2br condo has a better return. I've run a few numbers, but my wife and I only own really small spaces, so I'm interested in others' thoughts on this.
