Rental Property Flooring
Hey Everyone,
We got a great deal on a SFH to use as a long term rental and are working through the repairs with my contractor. My contractor flips houses too and has been very helpful in terms of the repairs we need to make it a great rental. All of the flooring has to be replaced and I had indicated I wanted laminate flooring in all but the bedrooms. He suggested I look into LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) instead of laminate. Does anyone have experience with this and do you think it is a good choice for a rental. Since I have to do all of the flooring now, I want to do it in a way that will hold up the best with renters. The house is pretty much all carpet now except for vinyl in the kitchen. Thanks for the feedback.
John

Both lvt and laminate are pretty durable but both can scratch...providing the felt is a cheap insurance policy. I also provide 6 pleated hvac filters. I want them to know the floors and hvac are important to me and give them no excuse to fail to maintain them.
