Hardwood vs lvt or laminate

[Sam P.]

I’m rehabbing a house in Atlanta with a 300arv and running through some ideas to save and not go over budget.

Has anyone refinished hardwoods downstairs and added a matching lvt or laminate upstairs?

If so wondering if you received any negative reviews or pushback from doing so.

If it were me, I would do hardwood throughout. Or install carpet upstairs, and refinish the wood floors on the bottom level. In my market, a home with an ARV of 400k shouldnt have laminate flooring. If it is a multi-family, that's a different story.
