Durable products used to make SFH Renter abuse proof

[Chinmay Goswami]

I have heard a a lot of about making the SFH renter abuse proof from the all the bigger pockets that investor!! What are general materials that can be used ? I would request everyone to please suggest the most durable products.

1. Wooden flooring- Heard Vinyl is better option?

2. Granite Counter tops ?

3. Brands or place to buy utilities system such as HVAC, Washer and Dryer 

4. Steel Appliances 

5. Services such as Pro-Desk at Lowes or any other similar services

6. Interior and Exterior paints?

Please feel free to add !

I wouldn't put in Granite due to them having to be sealed regularly, and you don't want a renter to have to deal with that.

Laminate flooring is the most durable as long as the area isn't prone to water, i.e. kitchen, bath. Vinyl is durable too it just shows deeper scratchs more.

Steel appliances are the same appliance as the other colors just with a different covering, no difference in durability. I'd get the cheapest appliance for my market that matches my overall design.
