Olivia Balch
Posted

hello, i just got my first rental and we are putting new flooring in and I need help deciding which product to use. 

1.Mohawk Home Woodmill Oak Waterproof Laminate 12mm Thick Plank With 2mm Attached Pad Included -1.598$/ sqft 

2. golden arowana hdpc flooring. (high density plastic composite)  2.37$/sqft

3.Mohawk home luxury vinyl flooring 2.601$/sqft

4. home depot  life proof Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring 3.29$/sqft

This is for a Rental in the Spokane washington that will rent for about 2500 a month. I mostly want the option that will hold to use and save money long term.  all the products look nice to my eyes but what do I know. we are doing about 1600 sqft.  kitchen bathrooms, stairs, and hallway and bedrooms. 

Thank you

A lot of it is personal preference, but pick something you can use in multiple buildings. As you expand, it will mean one less decision to make for your rentals in the future. I like to keep plank flooring under $3/square foot, since it can run up costs pretty quickly, especially if there's underlayment too. Waterproof or a strong water resistance is good too.

If you are having trouble deciding what looks good, check out rentals currently on the market or ones that have closed recently in the price point you want. What flooring do they use? Try and emulate that.
