Tenant-Friendly Finishes for cabinets, flooring, etc.

[Lauren M.]

I bought a duplex that needs new kitchen cabinets, counters, and flooring throughout. 

Questions:

1. What color kitchen cabinets hold up the best? I love the white look (and prospective tenants would too), but does white hold up? 

2. What type of counter top holds up the best? I'm willing to put in something nicer if it will hold up. 

3. What's the best flooring to put in? I heard tile holds up the best, but what are the pros and cons of all tile? Other options? 

4. Do you use the same wall color for all of your units? Recommendations appreciated. 

Would appreciate any advice!
