What type of flooring in rental?

[Josh Gentry]

I'm closing on my first rental. (3-2) 1300sf. Paid 100,000. ARV 150,000-160,000. (Pier and beam). The last tenants had dogs inside and ruined the vinyl plank flooring. I would love any feedback on best flooring for long term rental. Thanks

Hi @Josh Gentry,

Personally, I would go with vinyl plank flooring again. It's one of the toughest and best flooring choices out there. Not sure how dogs ruined LVP, but I'm guessing it was cheap stuff that wasn't waterproof. Whenever I replace carpet, I always choose LVP. It's worth it to pay for a better quality LVP so it lasts longer.

Hope that helps. Blessings!
