I'm building a new MF house, targeting travel medics.  It is very near to the main medical district.  I plan on building a duplex (so 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms).  Everybody will have private baths.  Do you think applicants would be willing to share the kitchen with 3 others?  I'm debating whether to build 8 total bedrooms or 6.  I've heard that traveling medics are generally not home much.

    @Ryan Daulton  It depends on your location.  Rooms are more of an option in expensive locations. They also seem to be more the choice of ancillary heath personnel.  I think 3 bedrooms is probably optimal thinking about shifts ect.   Also consider parking is that 6 or 8 cars?  Will you have room for that? Are all rooms single occupancy?  If not you can have more than 1 person per room and more than 1 car per room.  Some people cook, some do alot of take out but in general they aren't around much.
