If you've got separate entrance and 1 bed/bath plus laundry, I would think that would work out well! 

The impulse and question they have quickly subsides once they get off of the BP platform and they go back to their late night cocktail, TV show, or go to bed and forget they even filled out the form.

It seems as if you have at least 2 children, id suggest looking at duplexes with 3 beds, or a larger home with an ADU (Attached dwelling unit) that you can rent to alleviate the mortgage payments. 

Found a really good deal on a 2 bed 1 bath older home in pretty decent condition.

I think that is humorous.One of many examples, I had a 5 bed 3 bath that I contacted a couple of different agents and had them do a BPO for what they would put the house on the market for.

It is a Duplex 3/2 bed/bath and 2/1 bed/bath.

Personally, in Worcester, I think $600Kish is a good range for a 9 bed 3 bath based off the revenue.

Depending on condition 2 bed 1 bath units are renting for around $750-$800.

For a 5 bed, 3 bath house, it may be difficult to get random travel nurses to all share a 5 bedroom place.  

My theory is that 2 bed properties mostly serve the same guest avatar as single hotel rooms and 1 bed properties.
