Building a SFR and making it tenant proof?

[Aaron Z.]

If you could build a SFR from the ground up to use as a rental for college students what features would you absolutely build into the home or leave out of it? How would you make it long-term low maintenance and low hassle? My first thoughts are: -No exposed wood or painted surfaces on the exterior -Coax cable outlets in every bedroom and living area -LVT in the common areas and wet areas -Concrete porch and patio instead of using a wood deck -Upgraded toilets with large flush valves and high quality internals -No bifold closet doors -Basic cabinets and countertops -A step up from Contractor grade for faucets -Solid wood interior steps instead of carpeted What am I forgetting? What do you disagree with and why? What have been your experiences? I've been at this for a few years but I've never built and I'm always looking to improve!
