Carpet in Rental Properties?
Hello BP community!
I have a Duplex in a college town that's classified as commercial student housing. Currently its rented as residential because of the times.
It has hardwood floors that have been painted. They creak and are kind of ugly.
I've been thinking about the pros and cons of carpeting these units. Before I buy another property. I'm leaning towards no because of the frequent wear and tear.
What are your experiences and opinions on carpeting vs hardwood floors for older houses with new tenants every year or even semester?
