for the Do it yourselfer what would be your flooring choice?

[Steven Maduro]

my question is if you were doing the work yourself and therefore could eliminate
installation costs, What would your flooring choice be?

I am new to this landlord thing
I am on my fourth property and its all sink or swim now.
My second property which is a newly acquired vacant, is a duplex
small 2bdrm apartments 500sqft each yes really small

I want to make up for the crampness and make it cozy
I was thinking because I can tile pretty well to tile the whole floor
a lot of work up front
but less effort on the back end.

tile replacement is rather easy as long as i keep a few extra boxes in the attic.
or crawl space.

as a compromise I can carpet the bedrooms and just tile everywhere else
the bathroom and kitchen already are tiled.

cost wise I dont think I am too much beyond good laminate or vinyl flooring
or my cheapest hardwood.

tile is only my choice because I think I will get a really nice look. which may attract a better quality tenant. I have tiled a few bathrooms before but never tackled a whole house I am sure it will take me at least a week.

laminate was my second choice
but i have already had a floor warp due to sitting under water for a little bit.

vinyl is now an option the labor is minimal
the look seems decent and the maintenance and durability is there

my only concern will i be losing those more savvy tenants?

fyi
the neighborhood is not the best.
but I was hoping to make my units like oasis's once the doors shut.
