Flooring choices
I have two remodels starting in the next week and have been getting mixed advice on the best flooring to install. One is a SFR (2000 ft2) and the other is a duplex (2100ft2)bin the Houston suburban market. Both need new floors throughout.
I know everyone has differing options and preferences so: What is your go-to flooring choice these days given cost, look, durability, and ease of install?
Opinions on:
Vinyl Wood?
Carpet in bedrooms?
Tile?
Laminate?
Thanks for your input!!

@Mike Watts have you looked into what your competition is putting down in your area? I wouldn't go too crazy/expensive with flooring if everyone else is doing cheap vinyl floors. Like you said, its a good idea to offer a little bit better choice than your competition to attract tenants but don't over do it.
My best advice is to look in your specific neighborhood to see what others are doing and follow with a slightly better option. And try to avoid carpet unless you what to be replacing it every time a tenant vacates the property.
