Flooring recommendation for rental property

[Sunny Rajvansh]

Hello,

I just bought my second condo for rental in CT. I have to fix the condo a little. I am changing the flooring from carpet to hardwood. I put laminate in my first property. Back then I didnt care much and only looked for cheaper option. This time I want to make sure I make right decision. hence, I am here asking for your opinion.

I was looking into hardwood oak floor. While the store manager told me about the engineered vinyl floor looks just like hard wood. He told me lately lot of land lords has been using it and they are very happy with it. I spoke with a floor installer and even he told me those are his new favorite flooring specially for rental properties he recommended it too. I wanted your opinion on it, if anyone is using it and what is the feedback. This is not for bathroom and kitchen only. I am looking to install this in the living room and bed rooms as well. And If you don't recommend  engineered vinyl what floor is your preference?

We are using a vinyl plank flooring which also looks like distressed hardwood flooring. Each piece is about 8x36 so if by chance a piece were ever ruined we could replace only that one piece.  This is a glue down product and water proof as well. 

I will attach a pic so you can see what it looks like: It has been a game changer for our rehabs along with lowering turn over cost.
