Flooring for a Rental Property

[Connor Lewis]

Hello BP community!

I just purchased a duplex and need to replace the flooring in one of the units. Im obviously searching for the most affordable option to do so. Im open to carpet or laminate. It’s roughly 480 sq. ft of space.

From the experience of those who’ve gone through this before, what would you recommend? I’m not sure how difficult it would take to manually replace flooring, so I’m seeking the advice of others. Should I do the work myself? Or look at hiring someone to come and complete it?

Thank you for the help!

I would never put carpet in a rental. Vinyl plank is the only way to go unless you plan to replace the carpet every time you turn it over.

Good luck
