Installing Laminate Flooring on Stairs

My name is Grant Wilsterman and recently stated my real estate journey. I am located in Greenville, SC. I just purchased a $50k condo to house hack in. I am debating on whether I replace the carpeting in the property with a wood look laminate flooring to make the condo more appealing to renters when this becomes a rental property. about 650 sf of the 850 sf is 5-10 year old carpet that is in mediocre shape. Is it worth spending $2k to replace this carpet even though the value of the property will not be raised due to a consistent sale price over the last couple years throughout these 2 bed 1.5 bath condos regardless of condo condition?

I am also interested in any options for how difficult it is to lay laminate flooring over stairs with no flooring experience. Would I be biting off more than I can chew by attempting to do this myself?
