Painted Hardwood Floors

[Jim Stevenson]

I'm looking at a property with hardwood floors. Some are painted, some are not. I would purchase this property as a rental. What are your thoughts on painting the floors with a semi-gloss/glossy paint vs refinishing? Either way I imagine I would have to re-paint/refinish but painting would be less expensive. Keep in mind this is in a C+/B- neighborhood.

I call paint " carpet in a can". renters seem to like it.
