Vinyl Plank for Rental Property

[Lei L.]

I am planning to put on new vinyl planks for a large part of my rental property. What quality do you normally choose? And what websites you use to buy? 

After some search, I am looking at 3 products:

1. Mohawk Caldwell - wear layer 10 mil, 15 yr residential warranty

2. Mohawk Bowman - wear layer 12 mil, 25 yr residential warranty

3. BuildDirect.com own brand  - wear layer 12 mil, 25 yr residential warranty

From the #1 and #2, I found them in 

https://www.carpet-wholesale.com and  https://znetflooring.com

#3 from BuidDirect.com which is the cheapest. But the online reviews of BuildDirect is mixed. 

Is the #1 enough for a rental? How many years can these floors last? Where do you buy vinyl planks? Any suggestions and comments?

Thank you very much, Mike. How much did you spend for an sqft of your choice? I will definitely check out their website.
