Best Flooring Option for Rental Properties??

[Colin LaReaux]

I have a few rental properties, and it seems every potential property I look at has 50 yr old carpet, or worse, laminate with carpet over it! Some have hardwood underneath, but it seems costly to redo hardwoods only to have tenants damage them.

Any advice on best options? LVP (lucury vinyl plank), laminate? If I spend around $3 a foot is that decent?

Thanks!
