In your opinion, what type of flooring would you recommend putting in your rent houses? I was thinking stained concrete would pay off in the long run over carpet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My first rental was my old primary house. We had stained concrete everywhere but carpet in the bedrooms. First tenant destroyed the carpet. Concrete was/is still flawless.

I use concrete floors here in SoCal where we love modern design and cool concrete is a relief from hot temps. They are also a plus when selling. But they can be significantly more expensive than non-tile options so be sure you’re in it for the long haul.

@Brett Mason Wood look luxury vinyl plank (5mm at least) throughout the house including kitchen/baths; carpet needs to be replaced every 3-4 years. Lux vinyl plank is tenant-proof especially in my recent experience with destructive tenants.
