Millennials have basically given themselves two options in terms of housing: renting, which means kicking hundreds and in some places thousands of dollars out the door every month, or buying a nice 3-bed/2-bath that they can barely afford and drains their cash flow.

Bottom line we are becoming more and more a nation of renters from senior citizens to millennials.

Millennials and Baby boomers make up the 2 largest cohorts so you have the right idea to focus on one of them.

But as a millennial I'm not so sure my generation will put up with such a high cost to sell a house when the Internet does much of the work.

I've had a two lenders mention to me the past week that their data shows Boston as the #1 purchasing for first time millennial home buying in the U.S.

One beds tend to be more transient, but if you have a high millennial population or senior citizen, this will help with renting them out.  

A home with a  mother in law setup has many advantages - younger people don't mind sharing space and renting rooms out so it could could work for younger millennials - but more to the point - you have a lot of families where the parents are moving into their children's homes to be closer to family and to be taken care of - on the other side of that you have record number of young people moving back into their parents home - so a SFR with an in-law unit built into it should prove attractive to a wide range of buyers.

Rently or not someone can break it, you either get with the times or get left behind, millennials want instant gratification, and instant showings, instagram, instant everything, so keep doing things the old fashion way, set up alerts on your pagers and post to the paper classifieds because if your not doing what's in demand your living in the past.
