Basement flooring recommendations
I have just under 600 sq ft in a basement to floor/carpet. Looking for the most affordable option that will also show well for the flip. Looking for specific links or recommendations.

In my basement, I did a coated concrete finish. If I were to do it again, I might just do a grind and seal on it. Depending what part of the country you are in, that might play well to the market OR.... people might not understand.
Probably best to just carpet it. Something that makes the basement seem "warm". Especially if you are in a colder climate.
Look around at other listing pictures in your local area and pay attention to what flooring other people are putting in basements.
