Tenant Flooring Discussion
Hey all,
So I have been doing a lot of tenant - proofing research lately as I get ready to jump into the world of Real Estate Investing and one of the things that seems a prominent discussion is flooring!
I have come to the conclusion that a nice porcelain tile is a good tenant - proofing solution for flooring unless the property already had refinish-able hardwood flooring prior to my purchasing the property in which case I would keep the hardwoods.
I am opposed to having carpeting for flooring because I feel it will be easily trashed. However, if I am buying a property that already has carpeting in decent condition, should I simply maintain the carpet rather than rip it all out in an initial renovation?
What are thoughts on this? Any other durable types of flooring that I am not considering?
Would love lots of different input when people have time!
