Flooring for Florida duplex?

[Cindy Joseph]

What is the best and most cost-effective flooring for a rental duplex? The original flooring was Terrazzo. One side has vinyl planks over the terazzo. The other half has Terrazzo with some damaged terazzo. Is it better to refinish the Terrazzo or install vinyl planks on top on that side. 

From the quotes I’ve been getting, Terrazzo seems to be cheaper. My concern is if it’s more easily damaged – I read that you have to use a specific ph cleaner and can’t have too much excess water (like mopping) or it will damage the terazzo and cost more to fix. Is there anyway to protect the terazzo from this? Or would it be better to just add vinyl planks?
