Laminate vs Hardwood flooring for Flips

[Sean Salandy]

I am looking to flip a home and would like to run laminate flooring throughout (except in the bathrooms and utility rooms). The home should sell around $170k in the Cecil County, MD area. Should I consider using hardwood floors instead or would a nice laminate be adequate? This would not be considered a high priced home at 170k by local standards.

Also, if I go with laminate flooring, should I stick to 10-12 mm thick or can I use an 8 mm without any issues? I saw a good price/design on a 8mm that I am leaning towards.

Thanks for your time.
