Carpet or redo flooring
Hi, I am trying to rent in Miami and I have a townhouse that I haven’t been making much profit in. Due to evicting past tenants. It’s carpeted upstairs and debating/wondering if you’ve had more success with redoing the flooring . Not really wanting to spend more money on something that’s vacant.

I can not stress enough, you should redo the floor. Carpet is just gross and I would change it out to tile, laminate or vinyl. Carpet can easily get stain and will smell over time especially if the tenant has children, pets or eats in the carpeted rooms. I get spending money on an empty place isn't fun but I think with good flooring, you may more easily find a tenant and also will have less issues in the long term with a stained/gross carpet.
