Property renovations and rehab

[Christopher Coffee]

I recently purchased my first investment property (a triplex). One of the tenants is currently being evicted and I needed to do some renovations to the unit. I want to replace the entire carpet throughout the unit. What is the most economical and affordable way to replace the carpet? Is it vinyl flooring, laminate flooring, or should I just put brand new carpet down. The unit is about 1430 sq feet, maybe 1200 sq ft not including kitchen and bathroom. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
