Construction choices: Rental Vs Flip

[Jonathan Z.]

My partner and I have recently decided to hold a new build that we were originally planning on flipping. Our plan is to refinance the property once complete and leverage the equity (and also take out an equity line incase we may need it at some point) to fund future investments.

Are there any changes in the construction itself that someone who has done this before could recommend we make to make it better for rentals? It is a two Family 3bed/2bath + 2bed/1bath split in an up in coming suburb of Boston, MA.

Thanks!
