However, it does not have the wisdom and coaching of some of the other coaches.

I appreciate your time and wisdom to respond.

Conventional wisdom tells me to fit as many bedrooms into a certain square footage as possible; but when touring some of these houses where the bedrooms seem just big enough to fit a bed and not much else, my knee-jerk reaction is to think that nobody in their right mind would want to live in something that small. 

Take them out to dinner at a nice restaurant and encourage them to talk about their experiences, really share their wisdom with you and your wife.

I suspect short-term investors don't see the wisdom in that.

I love the way you added wisdom and caution in your analysis of the situation! 

Some people walk very "heavy footed", some people unconsciously tap their foot, pace back and forth, etc....even just dropping the remote control for an xbox can make noise that sound like you are dropping a hammer....the area rugs will help, but, sometimes the downstairs tenant cant handle living underneath, sometimes the upstairs tenant can't manage to not be a naturally(unintentional) noisy neighbor, and other times one of them is just a psycho.Of the hundreds of tenants I have had at that building, I would say most try their best to walk softly and be aware of the neighbors(especially if you have soft way of encouraging that type of empathy), and the ones that are not good at living below people, eventually move.

Thanks in advance for the collective BP wisdom!

Thank you for your words of wisdom!

Thanks for the wisdom, Joe!
