engineered hardwood flooring for low-mid flips, maybe rentals?

[Jessica H.]

I am trying to decide what the best type of flooring would be to do. The first house is in a popular historic college town. Most homes even the rentals have hardwood floors. Sell for around $150k .The second house is a little further away from the first, in an average area and would sell around 120k. I think people here generally like the hardwoods better then say a laminate or vinyl floor and out first exit strategy is to flip but our second is to hold for rentals if they don't sell( or in the case of the first house a turn key landlord might want to purchase ). So should we go with the engineered wood? I want something at a good price but durable and I am kinda afraid if we out in a vinyl it might chase away potential buyers. I know the engineered can also be sanded a few times if it does turn into a rental situation. What do you think?? Thanks!
