Tenant Proof Duplex Build

[Joseph Beilke]

Okay BP, lets hear some ideas from everyone on how to tenant proof your property.  I am working with builder right now to build a new duplex.  The investor and I are going through the build sheet and cherry picking things we want to change to make sure the house is "tenant proof".  We want to be able to have as little repairs between turn over.  Limit the number of things a tenant could break, damage, make extra dirty.  The goal is to reduce the number of things that would cause us to hold deposits, charge for repairs or reduce the time down between tenant contracts.  

We do not want double sinks in the kitchen or a garbage disposals. We want all LVP floors,  no tile and grout.  We want blinds in the sliding doors.  We will not provide washer and dryers.  On the fence about over range microwaves....  Please share your thoughts
