Here's an update on everything. Zero issues with the floors thus far. 

 Correct, that is just the labor. 

 I had other issues but I'll leave that out. 

$2 per sqft 

940 sqft (didn't include bathrooms,kitchen, laundry room)

$1,880.00

 Here is what I purchased, so far no issues, and cleans pretty nicely.

Adding @Alexander Canha just in case that is helpful for you

 Hey, so I ended up not going with MLV...the cost of investment for my situation was not worth it. 

I did go with the original wall, green glue, "AP Foil-Faced Polyiso Continuous Insulation" followed by 1/2 inch drywall. I see a pretty nice difference in the amount of money I put in. 

Here is a video that talks about what you want to do though. This guy's channel is great, I use his videos for the entire rehab that I did/doing. 

Soundproofing between floors

Hey Thanks @Nathan Gesner

Does anybody recommend a specific brand & product when it comes to purchasing LVP for a rental property?

Based on my research I'm hearing you need something

5-mm or greater for the thickness of the plank

12 mils or greater for the thickness of the wear layer

any thoughts or recommendations?

I've also read that you should put down floor underlayment regardless of the type of plank you buy, is that also true?

I understand that everybody will have their own personal experience with this but it's more than mine at this point lol 

Valid point, I think just by doing some minor things like keeping the bedrooms carpet and sealing the electrical boxes is a enough.
