Bathroom and Kitchen Floor Types

[Account Closed]

I have a my first 2 properties that I have purchased, both with ARV's in the $100k range. I will be putting new kitchens in both and will be redoing floors and tub surrounds on both as well. Each house has hardwood floors throughout except in the kitchen and bathroom. What type of flooring do you install in new kitchens? and new baths? Tile looks great, but is really time consuming to install and can be costly. Also, if the walls of the bathroom have tile on them in colors that haven't been popular since the 60's and 70's, do you remove and put new tile back up or do you drywall? And last, do you do the pre-made big box store tub surrounds or do you install tile there as well.

Would love to hear what everyone thinks.

Thanks in advance.
