ideas on remolding for a house hack property

[Manuel Jurado]

I recently bought a new property that requires a bathroom remodel and the old carpet needs to be replaced with vinyl flooring. I plan to work on this project myself and need some assistance in selecting the right type of flooring and approach for the bathroom. My budget for this project is $5k. The property will be used for house hacking. Any suggestions or ideas for the bathroom and flooring type would be greatly appreciated! The property is located at 1414 Widergren Dr, Rockford, IL. You can look it up on Zillow for recently updated photos, except for the new painting which was done recently to cover some of the stains.

Hey @Manuel Jurado,

I agree with @Dave Kush. Vinyl plank is what I use for my living spaces and it can be used for bathrooms. You can get “Life Proof” vinyl at home depot which advertises that it’s water proof and scratch resistant. If you have room in your budget though, I would definitely go with tile in the bathroom. This will be much more durable and stand up to water a lot better than vinyl.
