Best flooring for Chicago rentals (LVP)
I'm already set on Luxury Vinyl Plank, just a matter of floating or glued-down and if anyone has any specific suggestions. Preferably available at Home Depot and under 2.5/sf.
Trying to find best equivalent to: https://www.menards.com/main/flooring-rugs/vinyl-flooring/vinyl-planks/shaw-reg-citadel-floating-vinyl-plank-5-91-x-36-84-18-14-sq-ft-pkg/mr30000755/p-1444453422201-c-6617.htm
Leaning toward: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Shaw-Hamilton-Boulder-7-in-x-48-in-Resilient-Vinyl-Plank-Flooring-34-98-sq-ft-case-HD80300520/304626885

@Francis Rusnak I have done almost 20 apartments in Berwyn and Cicero using the vinyl allure stuff in Khacki Oak from home depot. I put this stuff down, paint the walls revere pewter from Benjamin Moore (I use Behr paint from HD), and paint the trim white. This is essentially the formula everyone is using now in the apartment space, and I think for your B and C class rentals this is perfect.
