Just bought a triplex! (First Investment property / House Hack)

[Jaron Smith]

Hey everyone,

I've recently purchased a triplex in a C+ neighborhood where I will be living in one unit and renting out the other two.  The property consists of one two bedroom unit (Upstairs) and two one bedroom units which are both downstairs.

My question for you all is I need to replace the flooring, (which is now stinky, stained and old carpet) what type of flooring would you recommend for a unit like this? I've been trying to figure out what type I can use for the bathroom and kitchen that will last. I like the look of the engineered wood flooring such as Luxury vinyl plank flooring and the snap together laminate flooring but im not sure which would hold up better for ;

The Kitchen

Bathroom

Bedrooms

Living Room

Laundry Room..

Also, the 2 bedroom unit being on the second floor, would it be better to carpet more to help be a noise barrier from disturbing the tenants on the first floor?

Thanks and I cant wait to start reading some responses and begin this journey in two days when i get the keys!
