Help choosing flooring for a flip.
I am trying to decide between LVP and hardwood looking tile.
Have you seen appraiser give tile more value ? Any Oklahoma City friends on here with recent experience?
I am trying to advise a client but this neighborhood has no recent comps (90days) of rehabbed homes.

@Evelyn Tilman, admittedly, I cannot answer your question, as I am not an appraiser, don't like or invest in OKC, or even in my market have ever installed tile outside of kitchens and baths, and mostly baths.
As, what I consider, a fairly typical buyer, I can say I despise tile in any room outside of baths. It is hard, cold, echoes more, and generally uncomfortable. Therefore I would buy a house with LVP over tile. But, I would also ask, if you or owner are willing to pay for tile, why not actual hardwood/engineered hardwood. At least with my contractors, a decent hardwood-look tile costs nearly the same as a prefinished hardwood, and is cheaper to install in my experience.
