Buying new carpet for rental house

[Logan Wright]

My wife and I just purchased our first rental! It’s carpet needs replaced and I’ve torn it all out. 
what type of carpet/pad should I look for?

What’s considered a good price for a rental house carpet per square foot? 

For 3 bedrooms we have been quotes at $2,000 for carpet and install - that seemed high to me but here I am for examples!

Thanks!
