FIrst Rental Rehab, HELP needed!

Hey BP! 

I'm crazy excited to get into my 2nd rental duplex at the end of this month, which will also be my first house hack for my wife and I! The first duplex I purchased came with tenants (who've been great) and hasn't needed any rehab yet, only small repairs in the year I've owned it (on track for 25% COC return with self managing the property). This next property I'm moving into will need new flooring/paint/kitchen remodel among others, and I'm looking for suggestions on your favorite LVP or other flooring that's the best value for quality and price, and recommended colors for rental properties to paint, along with best value for kitchen cabinetry options.  This might be a tall ask, but I know you're all up for it!  My wife and I plan on doing the painting and flooring ourselves, but probably subbing out the kitchen rehab as I think I may need to re-wire and re-plumb if I decide to add a dishwasher.  Thanks BP, looking forward to your inputs!

added: One unit has the old school 70's wood paneling board, do you guys prefer to paint over it, or replace entire unit with drywall?
